Orban called the sanctions policy against Russia a strategic mistake of the EU

It is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the broadcast of his speech on his YouTube channel.

“We consider the strategy of Brussels to be erroneous, and sanctions against Russia as a dead end.

Closing themselves from cooperation with Russia, European countries are completely ceding economic opportunities to China.

This is a strategic mistake,” he said.

Orban noted that Hungary cannot change the direction of the EU's foreign policy, so he developed and uses the Hungarian model.

“We are members of the EU and NATO, but at the same time we cooperate with Russia.

The example of Hungary proves that this is possible,” the Hungarian leader stressed.

Earlier, Orban said that Russia and Hungary are close to an agreement on the supply of an additional 1 billion cubic meters.
