‘EU curbs on Russia have failed’

BUCHAREST, 24 July 2022, (TON): Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said “the European Union needs a new strategy on the war in Ukraine as punitive sanctions against Moscow have not worked.”

Orban said in a speech in Romania “a new strategy is needed which should focus peace talks and drafting a good peace proposal instead of winning the war.”

Orban, reelected for a fourth consecutive term in April, reiterated that Hungary a NATO member  would stay out of the war in neighbouring Ukraine.

He is facing his toughest challenge since taking power in 2010, with inflation in double digits, a weak forint currency and EU funds still held up amid a dispute with Brussels about democratic standards.
