Orbán's request to rethink EU sanctions: A careful choice for Europe's economy.
Reading
Hungary's leader, Viktor Orbán, says the European Union (EU) needs to stop punishing Russia for the war in Ukraine. He believes these punishments are hurting Europe's economy more than Russia's.
The EU has put in place many punishments on Russia, like stopping trade with Russian companies and banks. Orbán thinks these punishments are making energy prices go up in Europe.
Orbán wants the EU to change its approach and says he will see it as a win if they stop punishing Russia. He thinks if they don't stop, it will badly hurt Europe's economy.
Even though Hungary is leading the EU right now, it hasn't focused on punishing Russia. However, many other EU leaders want to put more punishments on Russia, especially on its oil exports.
Orbán disagrees with stopping Russian oil from coming to Europe because Hungary relies on it for energy. He believes that Donald Trump winning the US election will lead to peace in Ukraine and help Hungary's economy.
