Budapest-Sana
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has renewed his country's opposition to "hasty sanctions" against Russia, stressing that they are "an atomic bomb that leads to unprecedented mass famine and emigration."
And the TASS news agency quoted Orban as saying at a joint press conference with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic: "We are facing a harsh winter ahead. The military conflict in Ukraine puts us in a difficult position because we are a member of the European Union, but we do not agree with the unacceptable economic measures taken in Brussels against Russia, which will lead to higher prices.”
He added, "We should not take reckless sanctions because it is equal to one atomic bomb that could lead to the fact that we will not be able to feed the peoples as a whole and also lead to the acquisition of many immigrants on our borders."
The European Union is preparing the sixth package of sanctions against Russia against the backdrop of its military operation to protect Donbass, which includes abandoning oil imports from Russia, declaring its intention to get rid of Russian fuel supplies in the long term, while reports indicate that the approval of the sixth package stumbled due to the positions of some countries rejecting these sanctions, especially Hungary.
