According to the Hungarian prime minister, if the EU wants to fight, then it should fight inflation, but it does not, while economic restrictions are the weapons of Brussels’ military policy.

They were targeting Russia, but they ended up in Europe, Orban wrote on his Facebook account, adding that the EU’s punitive measures are a virus that caused a disease called sanctions inflation in the region.

During the annual address to the nation in Budapest last Saturday, Orban claimed that the EU fanned the flames of armed conflict by imposing sanctions on the Eurasian nation and supplying Ukraine with money and weapons, instead of trying to make peace with Moscow.

When Russia launched its offensive, the West did not isolate the conflict, but elevated it to a pan-European level, Orban argued.
