BUDAPEST, March 4 - Hungary's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Wednesday that he hopes two ethnic Hungarian prisoners of war will be freed by Russia during his talks in Moscow, where he is scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin later.

Szijjarto travelled to Moscow a day after Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban held a phone call with Putin where they discussed the situation in the Middle East, Ukraine and the availability of crude oil and natural gas for Hungary.
