EU should review energy sanctions against Russia - Orban
The European Union should reconsider sanctions against Russia as they keep energy prices high.
This was stated by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Censor.NET reports with reference to Reuters.
He believes that "energy prices should be reduced by any means necessary".
"This means that the sanctions should be reconsidered because under the current sanctions policy, energy prices will not go down," the Hungarian prime minister said.
According to Orban, American companies pay a quarter of the amount their European counterparts spend on gas and electricity, and this disadvantage cannot be overcome in other ways.
Orban criticizes EU sanctions against Russia
After the full-scale invasion of Russia, Viktor Orban sharply criticized the EU sanctions against Russia.
European countries have made serious efforts to wean themselves off Russian energy. However, Hungary, which is landlocked, receives 80-85% of its gas from Russia. In addition, 80% of its crude oil supplies also come from Russia.
