The other day, the Hungarian Foreign Minister traveled to Moscow and asked for an increase in Russian gas supplies. On the second day, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that the sanctions did not shake Moscow, and that Europe was in a political and economic crisis.
Hungary repeats Russian propaganda
Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko stressed that the song about “sanctions did not shake Russia” is a classic example of Russian propaganda. . Providing Ukraine with weapons saves the lives of Ukrainians. If sanctions and weapons were ineffective, the Kremlin would not use insane resources to discredit them, would not try to stop them. Nikolenko emphasized.He noted that Europe was in an economic crisis not because of sanctions, but because of Russia's hybrid war. Indeed, in Ukraine, the aggressor country strikes with cruise missiles, and in Europe with exorbitant gas prices.
These are all elements of one Russian plan, the purpose of which is to blow up peace and prosperity in European countries. Turning a blind eye to Russia's crimes in Ukraine will not restore peace in Europe. Putin will not stop until he destroys the European order based on democratic values. It is useless to hope that concessions or fertilizers will induce the Kremlin to appease its aggressive appetites,” the Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
Without peace in Ukraine, there will be no stability in Hungary either
Nikolenko noted that “without peace and stability in Ukraine, there will be no peace and stability either in Hungary or in Europe.” Therefore, Europe must be united in efforts to help stop the war and hold Russia accountable for its crimes.
What else Orban said
- According to him, the EU has taken the wrong position by supporting Ukraine. The Hungarian prime minister is convinced that Europe “should stand between” Russia and Ukraine and develop a new plan for the parties to return to peace talks.
- He also said that Europe missed the chance to resolve the conflict peacefully back in 2014. Like, now Russia does not want to sit down at the negotiating table with the EU, but expects this from the United States. Orban also said that the aggressor country wants security guarantees. And there will be peace only if there are Russian-American negotiations.
- The Prime Minister also convinced that if at a critical moment Trump was the President of the United States, and Angela Merkel was the Chancellor of Germany, there would be no war today .
- In general, he said a lot of absurd things. For example, Ukraine will not win this war, despite weapons from Western partners, that Russia only wanted Ukraine not to join NATO, and he also said that Western Europe wants to divide Eastern Europe.
