Hungarian PM urges EU to reconsider Russia sanctions

Budapest, Jan 22 (Prensa Latina) Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban urged the European Union (EU) on Wednesday to reconsider its economic sanctions policy towards Russia, Radio Kossuth station informed.

The radio station informed that Orban wondered whether the restrictions on Russia had put an end to the Ukrainian conflict or whether they had damaged the country’s economy.

According to the prime minister, the restrictions, first and foremost, hurt Western countries themselves, which were unable to find other affordable sources of energy instead of Russian ones.

“The sanctions designed by EU bureaucrats have only achieved to destroy the competitiveness of the European economy,” Orban argued and called for a change.

Commenting on the introduction of the next package of restrictions by the West, the Russian presidency noted that the sanctions will affect those countries that introduce them.
