The EU must change its tactics to “punish Moscow”, otherwise “it will end badly” for itself, an adviser to the Hungarian prime minister said.
An adviser to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said the EU should stop extending sanctions against Russia and work on ceasefire talks. Reuters reported this on June 23.
As an aide to the head of the Hungarian government, Balazs Orban (name of the prime minister), noted on the sideline of the EU summit, the approach to anti-Russian measures needs to change, because now they are creating more problem for the EU itself than the Russian Federation.
“Ultimately, Europe will be defeated in this war because of economic problems. We recommend stopping the sanctions process … Now we are faced with the fact that the more sanctions we receive, the harder it will be. for us… And Russia? Yes, they were hurt too, but they are staying, and, moreover, still moving forward in Ukraine, “the adviser said.
According to him, the EU must change tactics, otherwise “it will end badly.”
“Yes, we have some successes, but if it continues, if you think logically, it will end badly for Europe. Therefore, you have to think about something else-peace negotiations, a ceasefire, diplomacy. .This is the solution we are going to propose ” – said Balash Orban.
Recall that since the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, the European Union has agreed on six packages of sanctions, which include asset freezes and visa bans on Russian oligarchs and officials, export control, central bank asset freezing, disconnection. banks from the SWIFT system and Russia’s ban on imports of coal and oil.
Hungary, which is heavily dependent on Russia’s energy resources, has long blocked the latest package of sanctions against Russia’s energy resources. Budapest only approved it after it was freed from Russia’s oil import embargo.
