Hungary could support Western sanctions against Russia if their US President Donald Trump will use Vladimir Putin for not accepting his proposal for a ceasefire in Ukraine. According to the British newspaper Telegraph, the Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó in London said it. Referring to Telex.hu, the TASR newsletter in Budapest informs about it on Wednesday.
The head of Hungarian diplomacy performed at the Think-Tank of the Royal United Services Institute in London on Tuesday. Telegraph reminded that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has close relations with Trump and Putin and has so far criticized EU sanctions against Moscow and defended them.
Szijjártó in London said that EU sanctions against the Kremlin are “ridiculous” and “unsuccessful” and economically affected Europe more than Russia. At the same time, according to the daily, he acknowledged that Budapest could change his attitude if the White House decides to impose sanctions on the Kremlin, as Trump threatened. “Our future decision will be determined by future circumstances,” Podčiarkol Szijjártó.
