Viktor Orban proposed to deal with Ukraine, “which we only look at through the glasses of war.”
The European Union should lift sanctions against Russia as next week the world will begin a “new era” with the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said this, Telex reports on Friday, January 17.
“It’s time to throw sanctions out the window and establish a sanctions-free relationship with Russia,” he said.
According to Orban, it will take time, but “sobering up” will come in Brussels, and right now they are in the “binge stage.”
He also said that in order to achieve the goals of Hungary’s economic policy, peace is needed, and then “we have to deal with Ukraine, which we only look at through the “glasses of war.”
According to Orban, Ukraine poses a serious economic threat to Europe, so he will introduce serious protective measures so that, for example, Eastern European economies do not suffer.
“We are talking about a country (Ukraine – ed.) that cannot stand on its own feet, and without Western money it would not be a country today,” Orban said.
A day before it was revealed that Hungary was sabotaging EU sanctions against Russia without US President-elect Donald Trump’s consent. The corresponding statement was made by the Hungarian Minister for European Union Affairs, Janos Bock.
Today, the media reported that the European Union is considering options to bypass Hungary’s possible veto on the extension of sanctions against Russia. Belgian World War II legislation is one way. In any case, we need to find a way to extend the seizure of 190 billion euros of Russian assets in the Euroclear depository in Belgium. If the sanctions are not extended, this money “will go to Russia the next day,” the sources said.
