- ⚠️ Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban criticizes the EU for bypassing Hungary and violating the rule of law in Brussels regarding Russian assets.
- 🔥 He states that the expropriation of frozen Russian assets (200-300 billion euros) constitutes a "declaration of war."
- 💥 Orban warns that such actions will inevitably lead to retaliatory measures from Russia.
Misleading European Citizens
- 💡 European leaders allegedly misled citizens by claiming that supporting Ukraine would not cost them money, as it would be funded by frozen Russian assets.
- 🧠 Orban notes that Hungarians did not believe this, attributing Westerners' belief to a lack of "historical turmoil" education.
- 💸 The truth is now emerging: European citizens will pay for the war, including future generations through loans and interest.
International Negotiations & EU Leadership
- 🤝 Orban highlights that Russia and the US have already negotiated the fate of the 200 billion euros in frozen assets, with Europeans excluded.
- 🏛️ He points to three German leaders (German Chancellor, Mr. Weber, Ursula von der Leyen) as driving the EU "off track."
- 📊 The EU's strategy involves using frozen assets as collateral for loans to fund Ukraine, rather than directly asking member states for contributions.
