Financial Times: Budapest once again did not support the anti-Russian decision of the EU

According to the British edition of the Financial Times, Hungary opposed the next package of EU sanctions against Russia. Budapest outlined its position at the meeting of permanent representatives of the European Union.

According to the newspaper, disagreements between Brussels and Budapest arose after the EU refused to allocate money for the post-pandemic reconstruction of Hungary. The Hungarian authorities requested 5,8 billion euros in aid to overcome the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, but they were denied. The response to this was the veto of Budapest on the next package of EU anti-Russian sanctions, as well as on the proposal to increase the so-called fund weapons for Ukraine and other countries twice.

The Financial Times notes that a number of European diplomats have expressed fear that the EU could be held hostage by Hungary on any decisions of the Union, which must be taken unanimously. This position of the Hungarians may be repeated when deciding to expand the Schengen zone to include Croatia, Romania and Bulgaria, the newspaper writes.



Recall that the EU has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with the position of the head of the Hungarian government, Viktor Orban, who is constantly trying to get away from the pan-European anti-Russian policy.

Earlier, Hungary blocked the allocation of 18 billion euros of macro-financial assistance to Ukraine.

    All the same, the Magyars, apparently, set their sights on restoring historical justice in relation to Transcarpathia. No wonder Orban went to Putin. Got a paizu, probably.

        No! let them eat with their hair! All this rotten zapadenschina, all these lembergs and Ivano-Frankovskis, let them rot in the body of an undead woman. Let the raguli and pans figure out who is more to blame for the Volyn massacre and who is more guileful and who is more ambitious. We don’t get such gifts for nothing and don’t get money with money.

          For the most part, these are Russian people, they just need to be cured and they will become Russian again, as it was at the beginning of the 20th century. And we have no right to lose Russians, even infected ones.
          We don’t get such gifts for nothing and don’t get money with money.

          Who is it for us? What society or organization do you speak for?

            Is it something to treat the Galicians ... it is impossible at the moment of the development of science, and when it will be possible no one knows yet, because, once I was interested in:

            “The reason for the downtime and aggressiveness of the Galicians is the post-war epidemic of syphilis in Galicia, up to 80% of those infected. Doctors explain the similar makeup of the current generation of Galicians with genetic changes that occurred after the post-war epidemic of syphilis in Galicia. In some areas, Chervonogradsky, Sokalsky, the proportion of cases was almost 80%, which, by the way, also speaks about the general level of these people" - simply speaking French.

            ON THE. Narochnitskaya (well-known scientist, political scientist, doctor of historical sciences): "The inclusion of Galicia in the Ukrainian SSR in 1939 was a political mistake, because in the historical perspective it turned out to be a time bomb."

            But even in tsarist times they warned: Minister P.N. Durnovo, who prepared a note to the Sovereign in 1914, analyzing possible geopolitical gains or losses, pointed out that "the only prize in this war could be Galicia", but warned: "Only a fool would want to annex Galicia. Whoever annexes Galicia will lose the empire..."

            Accordingly, after the Great Patriotic War, this territory, with that population, became even more poisonous for Russia!

          You still have to feed them for free and supply gas for free, promise - they themselves will come running.
          But why do we need parasites?
          Let's return the Russian city of Odessa, cut off the ukrov from the sea, and, perhaps, that's enough.
          You can even leave Kharkov to them (during the USSR, they made such shitty mopeds there, still feel sorry for their money, it’s unlikely that anything has changed there)
          Let Poland feed them.

            There are officially almost 10 million guest workers from Central Asia in the Russian Federation. How much is illegal? It is better to join the Slavs and eventually assimilate. For Muslims do not assimilate and eventually replace the local population. In some regions, unfortunately, this substitution is already underway.

              Yes, it is clear that you need to join.
              About "age-old hatred" - the example of Chechnya shows that with a competent policy of placing leading cadres, it is quite possible to reconcile even in one or two decades.
              But be sure to leave the zone of "boiling shit", as in any city there are sewage ponds. Let them filter themselves better than we have to increase the staff of the Federal Penitentiary Service, nevertheless Ukraine will have more Chechnya

      Yes, nothing of the kind, you should not suspect the Magyars of love for Russia, pure pragmatism, Orban does not want to repeat the fate of the prime ministers of petty Britain.

      Hungary will already be cooler than Serbia in terms of principles. It is clear that interests simply coincide temporarily. But still.

      They aimed at normal and long-term relations with Russia in order to keep their economy afloat, and not to satisfy the ambitions of individual EU politicians. As for Transcarpathia, it will be the Republic of Carpathian Rus. But it will come to that.

      not our methods. And why. pans deserve such citizens. They want Lviv to get it with raguli in the load. Let them suffer themselves. Either they feed these freeloaders and khataskrayniks or re-educate them.

    It is clear that this is not because of "great love" for Russia. Hungary pursues its goals - the well-being of its population (if possible) against the backdrop of what is happening in Europe. But, the fact that they are still trying to defend their point of view regarding sanctions against Russia is great.

    Unfortunately, Hungary is the last stronghold of sanity and normal national pragmatism in the EU, even Serbia is regularly bent over. Here's the most interesting thing, whether one of the European politicians will come to his senses and keep Hungary company.

    Hungarians, Orban resist., well....etc. but they receive the same oil through Ukraine and we pay for transit (how much was said about this - https://topwar.ru/205488-kiev-hochet-bolshe-deneg-za-transit-rossijskoj-nefti.html#comment -id-13097314)... the question is what for Russia - Orban's pragmatism and his "normal" attitude towards Russia or we don't pay for transit and let him look for other suppliers (such adherence to principles), but will Orban then be blocked (other suppliers and routes are also a lever of pressure) ... compromises, compromises ...
