Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán jeopardizes European boycott of Russian oil: “Atomic bomb for our economy”

At the same time, he states that he is not convinced that it is a good idea to make those major investments in the coming years. “I am not looking for a confrontation with the European Union, I want to cooperate,” emphasizes Orbán, “but that is only possible if they also take our interests into account.”

Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán and Russian President Vladimir Putin have always had a good relationship. So Hungary is trying to tone down all sanctions by threatening a veto to stop the whole package. It puts the country in a difficult position with Poland, who is often an ally of Hungary in many European files. Poland is a staunch supporter of heavy sanctions against Russia.
