The head of the Hungarian government, Victor Orban, in an interview with the German newspaper Welt am Zonntag called the short-sighted and wrong policy of Brussels towards Moscow.

"The EU does not understand that in relation to Russia it is necessary to demonstrate both strength and willingness to cooperate.
