Russia reacted to Hungary’s decision to lift its veto on negotiations on Ukraine in the EU

Hungary's lifting of the veto on the start of negotiations on the accession of Ukraine and Moldova to the European Union (EU) speaks of Budapest's hesitation, State Duma deputy Viktor Zavarzin said. In a conversation with Lenta.ru, he shared his opinion.

“Hungary is rushing back and forth with the new prime minister, making many retreats. Probably trying to earn points in the EU. This, of course, is not good. We are looking after relations with Russia, working on supplying them with fuel. If they refuse, then let them choose their own path,” the deputy explained.

According to him, former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who joined the opposition, criticizes what is happening. Zavarzin emphasized that Russia continues to monitor developments and will proceed from its own interests.
