Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced in a statement that Russian President Vladimir Putin had sent him an important message. According to Orbán, this message directly impacts the European Union's decisions on the utilization of Russian assets.
The editorial reports that Vladimir Putin informed Orbán that Russia would carefully consider how member states of the European Union vote on the issue of utilizing frozen Russian assets.
Viktor Orbán emphasized that Moscow considers these votes significant in terms of political stance and future relations. He stated that Russia's approach could be shaped according to the decisions of individual European countries.
Observers believe that this message further strengthens Hungary's cautious stance within the European Union and explains the reasons behind official Budapest's opposition to the use of frozen assets. This approach could deepen existing disagreements within the EU.
