The Hungarian government's call for a cease-fire in Ukraine is "cynical" given large swathes of the country are occupied by invading Russian forces, the U.S. Ambassador to Hungary David Pressman said on April 26.

Pressman made the comments during a panel discussion in Budapest. To read the original story by Reuters, click here.
