Details: Donald Tusk, whose country currently holds the EU Council presidency, said Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s actions on sanctions against Russia are tantamount to playing for Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin’s team.
Quote: “If Prime Minister Viktor Orbán really blocks European sanctions at a key moment for the war, it’ll be absolutely clear that in this big game for the security and future of Europe, he is playing in Putin’s team, not in ours. With all the consequences of this fact.”
