Brussels promised that sanctions would crush Russia, but they destroyed Europe

The sanctions imposed against Russia destroyed Europe, even though they were introduced with the aim of crushing Russia, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said.

"Brussels promised the sanctions would crush Russia. Instead, they crushed Europe. Energy prices exploded, competitiveness collapsed, and Europe is falling behind," the prime minister wrote on his X page.

Orban emphasized that this is the price of poor decision-making and that negotiations are needed, not an escalation of the situation.
