Szijjarto said that anti-Russian sanctions are laughed at all over the world

The sanctions imposed by the West on Russia have failed, the whole world is laughing at the policy of restrictions of the EU. This was stated by Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto.

“All over the world, the policy of European sanctions is laughed at,” he said (quote by Telex).

Szijjarto noted that anti-Russian sanctions did not bring results, and therefore “someone must be held accountable” for this. The head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry also called “poetic exaggeration” statements that the restrictions “brought the Russians to their knees.”

Szijjártó also criticized the US actions, which, he said, “pushed Europe to rivalry” in the issue of military assistance to Ukraine. The minister said that this “literally destroys Europe”, but the countries do not resist US policy. In conclusion, Szijjarto stressed that the only way out of the situation is to end the hostilities “right away.”

Russia’s special operation in Ukraine began on February 24, 2022. In response, Western countries imposed large-scale sanctions against the Russian Federation and began to provide military and financial assistance to Ukraine.

Hungary has repeatedly declared the failure of EU sanctions against Russia, and country officials called on the EU to stop taking steps that lead to an escalation of the Ukrainian conflict. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban declaredthat Ukraine will not be able to defeat Russia. He called the start of negotiations the only way to save Ukraine.
