The European Union’s sanctions against Russia are only harming EU countries instead of helping Ukraine. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Hungary.

“There are countries who are committed to the policy of sanctions, but Brussels must admit that it was a mistake and that this policy failed to live up to expectations, bedsides, it even had the opposite effect.

They thought that the policy of sanctions would hurt the Russians, but it’s hurting us even more”, - Viktor Orban pointed out, referring to the EU members who pursued tougher sanctions pressure on Moscow.

“Hungary has always opposed sanctions because they don’t help Ukraine. The policy of sanctions cannot shorten the war. Europe must admit that it chose the wrong tactics”, - he added.
