Putin promised not to punish Hungary, - Orbán

Orbán said he wrote a letter to Putin asking what Russia's response would be if the EU decided to use Russian assets for a “reparation loan” to Ukraine, and whether it would take into account the position of individual member states, Mandiner reports.

Orbán received a reply stating that Russia's reaction would be strong, but that the voices of individual countries on this issue would be taken into account.

Hungary does not support the use of Russian assets frozen in the EU because it would be a new level of escalation.

The EU has deprived Hungary of its rights and violated the principle of loyal cooperation in the debate on sanctions, so it will no longer consider it binding on Hungary.

He joked that what he likes most about Brussels is chocolate, the city's main square, but most of all, he likes coming back from there.
