it happened, well, it is not known for sure how viktor orban was convinced, maybe he himself finallyunderstood that it would be better this way. both for himself and for the citizens of hungary, and maybe he was even threatened with something, but in any case the result is there, the leaders of the european union at the summit in brussels today agreed to provide ukraine with 50 billion euros of macro-financial assistance, and at the same time, what is most interesting, agreed unanimously, immediately after the adoption of this extremely important decision for us, the president of the european council, charles michel, announced on his page. on the microblogging network x. this is the former twitter. he wrote. quote. this will ensure sustainable, long-term and predictable financing for ukraine. the european union maintains leadership and responsibility in supporting ukraine. well, it is also interesting that hungary received, after that, the prime minister of this country, viktor orban said, she received guarantees that it will not be taken away from her under any circumstances. there

, because viktor orbán appointed this minister of justice, viktor orbán nominated this presidentr viktor orbán himself , and this is not the first time, by the way, katerin novak is the second president of hungary to resign in connection with such accusations, the first was somewhere in the 12th year, as far as i remember, pal schmitt, who left. it cannot be said that he greatly interfered orbán, but he all the time... objected to certain actions of the government, submitted to the constitutional court, that is, he tried to behave like a president, it was not very successful, but everyone knew that he had his own independent position, surprisingly, this person has none. .. she did not resign, well, she worked for two terms, but why? and because everyone knew that she had her own responsibility, and orbán knew it, and strangely enough, he did not want to conflict, even though janoshader was also a long-time associate, but it turns out that endless loyalty in a warlordism regime does not guarantee the preservation positions, orbán could have already defended katalyanovyk, he could

viktor orbán, because viktor orban appointed this minister of justice, viktor orban nominated her thisthe post , there are no consequences for viktor orbán himself, and this is not the first time, by the way, kateryn novak is the second president of hungary to resign in connection with such accusations, the first was somewhere in the 12th year, as far as i remember pal schmidt who resigned due to... plagiarism i think was found somewhere in his work if i'm not mistaken, and what 's interesting is that pal schmidt and katalin novak were people who endlessly loyal to orbán, who simply nodded when he wanted something. and katalin novak's predecessor, janusz ader, who was between her and schmidt, ugh, he was 10 years old, two terms, he, you can't say that he greatly hindered orbán, but he always contradicted certain actions of the government, submitted. to the constitutional court, that is, he tried to behave like a president, it was not very successful, but everyone knew that he had his own independent position, strangely enough, this person did not resign, uh, two terms were served, and

donald tusk, really, what compromises, these compromises were constantly pushed by viktor. orbanert fitso, something to him sang along, what compromises can be in this case, when it comes to helping ukraine in its fight against russian aggression, when it comes, in particular, to the security of the whole of europe, and donald tusk clearly said: viktor orban, choose, are you on the side of ukraine or russia? fortunately, well, i wouldn't say that viktor orban is on the side of ukraine, but still, fortunately, the decision today is the way we would like it. mother, we have this help which is extremely important to us. and, by the way, at the time of this summit in brussels, they were going on mass protests of european farmers. they are protesting against the common european agricultural policy. the protests are timed, as i said, to the summit of the heads of state and government of the european union, the epicenter was the square in front of the building of the european parliament, dozens, maybe even several hundreds of tractors and other agricultural machinery blocked access to t

, is it viktor orban, or some other grandfather, this is me... an only be seen, that a person completely calmly acts in the role of an unfortunate grandfather, grandfather viktor from budapest, and now grandpa viktor from budapest, what about prime minister viktor orbán, i don't know who he is, tomorrow i will be prime minister viktor orbán, tomorrow, and today i am grandfather angry president judge on mila , i'm all bastards, but you refereed this match yourself, ugh, it's you, you. i forgot, but i don’t know, and the people allow him to do it, that’s what i’m talking about, i’m surprised by the hungarians who can’t clearly say, well, except for some opposition publications there, that in fact this is orbán’s direct responsibility, and this is very good for us lesson, because now, finishing already our conversation, we, unlike hungary , clearly understand which person will be responsible for the action. of the armed forces of ukraine, that our president is responsible both for targets and for broken light bulbs, this is what makes us different fr

and italian governments, the heads of the european commission and the european council persuaded viktor orbán unblock aid to ukraine, later the prime ministers of belgium, the netherlands, poland, donald tusk, in particular, openly criticized his colleague from hungary in the morning. orbán announced after everything at the end of the day that he had come to this decision after long negotiations, and that he had received guarantees. hungarian funds are blocked by the european commission, and about 20 billion euros will not reach ukraine. in december of such confidence in the hungarian. well, as he himself said, it wasn't. mission accomplished. hungary's funds will not end up in ukraine. we have a control mechanism at the end of the first and second year. our position on the war in ukraine remains unchanged. a ceasefire and peace talks are needed. what did hungary actually get? well, publicly it seems that there is nothing, but the eurocouncil mentioned in its conclusions in the decision of this summit, about the change in the rules, which allowed the european commission to freeze the funds. f

and that's why both robert fico and viktor orbán are talking about what is necessary, it is necessaryto call for negotiations, for a ceasefire. but, by the way, neither viktor orban nor robert fitza. did not answer the journalists' questions, but whether russia is interested in negotiating peace , or ceasing fire, and actually here the opinions of donald tusk, with mr. fialla and the opinions of orban and fico were divided. what else is worth to mention today in the context of this meeting in prague, is that viktor orbán, when he arrived here, was met by protesters. such a mad whistle could be heard, well, quite far from even the venue of this event, the protesters who gathered in prague and , to put it mildly, did not accept the fact that robert fitza and viktor orban were invited here. by the way, we managed to talk to one of the protesters, who explained, in fact, what the claim was and what the protesters did not like, they said that, well, in fact, they do not accept the fact that they continue to invite robert fitzo and viktor orbán to prague after all their statements, after al

for 14 years, sometimes successfully, sometimes not very successfully, and the peculiarity of viktor orbánnct is to cross these red lines and push them, constantly, and here the question is precisely the european union, us, how can we, on a bilateral or multilateral level, return viktor orbán to these so predicted. strange framework , he is not against it, you see, by and large, it is such a game for him, it is generally his understanding of politics, well, i say again, it is dangerous, that is, we in ukraine are afraid that orbán is a revanchist, in fact, because of this fear we miss his very serious games, for example, since the invasion , he has been selling such a role to others in europe and the west . to the allies, look, if you don't like something in ukraine, it's not behaving like that, or you doubt it, but from a moral point of view, you don't want to block anything for it there, there's help, military, financial, we'll do it for you or for you, we are willing to be these bad guys in exchange for certain preferences, and you know, for example before the summit in december 2023, w

many talents, he can— amongst viktor orban's many talents, he can get— amongst viktor orban's many talentsit was very. very— get to do particular often. it was very, very interesting, because the folding _ very, very interesting, because the folding by— very, very interesting, because the folding by viktor orban went it happened happened really, really quickly _ happened happened really, really quickly. there has been this built up quickly. there has been this built up of— quickly. there has been this built up of weeks and weeks and weeks, of him threatening to block it, and in response — him threatening to block it, and in response officials in brussels briefing — response officials in brussels briefing newspapers about the various — briefing newspapers about the various things they are doing, including _ various things they are doing, including withholding eu money, and very others... including withholding eu money, and very others - -— very others... there was a sense he was told he — very others... there was a sense he was told he had _ very others... there was a sense he was told he h

viktor orban nominated this president . there are no consequences for viktor orban himself.ime. by the way, katelin novak is the second president of hungary to resign in connection with such accusations. the first was somewhere in the 12th year, as far as i remember, pal schmidt, who resigned in connection with. plagiarism, me seems to be found somewhere in his works, if i'm not mistaken, and what's interesting is that pal schmitt and katalin novak were people endlessly loyal to orbán, who just nodded when he wanted something, and katalin novak's predecessor, janusz ader, who was between her and schmidt, well, he was there for 10 years, two terms, he cannot be said to have greatly hindered orbán, but he always contradicted certain actions of the government. submitted to the constitutional court, that is , he tried to behave like a president, it was not very successful, but everyone knew that he had his own independent position, strangely enough, this the person did not resign, well, he served two terms, but why? and because everyone knew that she had her own responsibility,

, is it viktor orban or some other grandfather, this, i would say, is the maxim of cynicism, whichcan see that the person is completely calm in the role unhappy grandfather, grandfather viktor from budapest, and now grandfather viktor from budapest, and what about the prime minister? viktor orban , tomorrow, and today i am the angry president of the referee, i am all the bastards, but you refereed this match yourself, ugh, it was you, you forgot, i don’t know, and the people allow him to do it, i’m talking about that's what i'm saying, i'm surprised by the hungarians who can't clearly say, well, apart from some opposition publications, that in fact this is orbán's direct responsibility, and that's very important for us. a good lesson, because now, finishing our conversation, here we are, unlike hungary, we understand exactly who will be responsible for the actions of the armed forces of ukraine, that our president is responsible for both targets and broken light bulbs, this is how we differ from hungary, because we are a democratic state in the literal sense of the word words, well

viktor orban launched such a pin in the direction of ukraine yesterday.d actually the mood is the same, a little uplifted, a little nervous, because many eu leaders understand that today's decision the future of ukraine and possibly the future of war depends on the summit. ukraine needs funds. the ukrainian budget needs help from europe, the 50 billion euros that europe promised us, ukraine desperately needs, the first tranches should be arriving now, and what viktor orban is blocking, he, he still has not said that he agreed to unblock the provision of this financial aid to ukraine aid, it only means that ukraine is losing certain chances, and it was being talked about just now behind me... where did the leaders of the eu states approach, arriving here in premises of the european council, and each of them talked about the fact that ukraine needs to allocate money, but at the same time they said that it is important to reach a consensus of all 27 leaders, that is, it is important to persuade, to break orbán, and this is exactly what charles was doing just

the time has come to carry out the procedure provided for in article seven and deprive viktor orbán of the council. however, representatives of the liberal faction in the european parliament say that today it is bad news for the european union to reach this agreement; this was stated, in particular, by an independent liberal deputy representing austria. the european union has no strategy for ending the war in ukraine and does not seem interested in peaceful solutions. at the same. time, brussels is betting on the long-term allocation of billions to ukraine, although this money could be much better used in the eu in the countries themselves, the member states, about which this is evidenced, in particular, by the protests of farmers in front of the council building. ukraine has long turned into a bottomless financial barrel. i will add that according to the current decision, the european commission will report annually on how money is used for ukrainian aid, and only after 2 years, in theory, it will be possible to change it. i would like to say that, of course, the picture of where you

, also became part of this united community. and donald tusk spoke from viktor orbán before theent, the prime minister of estonia hinted at the dependence of the hungarian economy on europe. the pressure was felt, and this is against the background of reports of brussels' alleged readiness to curtail hungary's rights in the eu, if it is critical for ukraine orban will not give in to the summit. i probably didn't research exactly, it was the shortest eu summit in a long time, and it's also a success story because we really worked very... hard over the last days and weeks to facilitate a quick, constructive solution today. charles michel announced the agreement after a discussion in such a circle. they were also joined by the premiers of belgium, the netherlands, and poland, although they are not in this picture. orbán said, he harassed everyone, because he received a guarantee that the funds are intended for hungary, the european commission still receives her 20 billion euros, will not get to ukraine. mission accomplished, hungarian funds. will not end up in ukraine, we have a co

question of ukraine is an existential question, not only for poland, but also for all of us, viktor orban'shreat to our security. this is obvious, and it is unacceptable, and we must think about all possible measures against orbán, but not today. viktor orban, however, did not come to that same dinner the day before at the invitation of charles michel, however, as it became known from sources. met bilaterally with some other leaders, in particular with italian prime minister giorgia miloni, and it is also reported that he had a conversation with emmanuel macron, however, apparently after these meetings, he recorded a special video, which he posted on social networks, where he called on european politicians to hear the voice of the people. the mistake of europe is that the voice of the people is not taken seriously, the leaders do not take the opinion of the people seriously, this is the number one problem. we can discuss migration or the conflict in ukraine, anything, but the voice of the people on the streets is ignored. this is a democratic deficit. at the moment, the european union is at

there's a man viktor orban. he's probably like one of the strongest leaders anywhere in the world, and he's the leader of -- right, he's the leader of

you are surprised by the fact that this is a unanimous decision, how do you even explain it, why viktor orbánfinally gave in. but we have you to understand that right from the middle of december, when orbán blocked this decision, all the efforts of our partners in the european union, they were directed to get exactly this decision, supported by all 27 eu member states, and that was and, well , let's say this, and and and methods and, if you like, pressure, and persuasion, and explanations, and eh,... well, such rather sloppy arguments of the internal discussion, but at the same time, colleagues were also preparing for a possible plan b, regarding the adoption of a decision on allocation of these funds for ukraine for four years by 26 members without hungary, but those emphasized that this is a very undesirable option for them, because they understood that yes, it would be such a symbol of separation and destruction of this society. well, the demonstrated unity of the european union from the point of view of supporting ukraine, so i think that the leaders of the countries themselves, the membe

and today, this position of viktor orbán is a threat to our security. is something so obvious and at the same time so unacceptable. bohdane, europe and the usa have repeatedly stated that they are acting with integrity and a united front regarding aid to ukraine, now with the approval of another funding package by europe, have calls been heard for the usa to finally unblock aid to ukraine? yes, it may be somewhat surprising how often here, particularly today in brussels, in the capital of the european union , america was mentioned, that is, for example, from my fellow journalists today... at a press conference here, eu leaders were asked what, against the background of the delays that, as seen from europe, are happening in the united states, regarding aid to ukraine , whether, for example, europe is able to fill the gaps that may arise if the americans do not fulfill their promises, and the leaders of the european union emphasized to us today. in front of the fact that they fulfill their promises, and by the way, it is worth emphasizing that europe is a

you said a viktor orban of _ -- president zelensky.viktor orban of hungary had been viktor 0rban of hungary had been opposed to this previously, even in this deal, yet been pushing for a yearly vote, which would have put that in doubt every year, every 12 months, it would've come up for discussion and could have been in doubt. instead what has happened is there is a two—year discussion, so this guarantees for these two years, until a further discussion, and who knows where we are in two years from now, but nonetheless it is important for ukraine? and maybejust explain where this money will be spent stopping of the money will be spent on supporting ukrainian budget, as we know, as a result of russia's invasion of ukraine, ukraine has gone yellow neck into very serious deficits. western countries have been providing direct aid and loans, some of them in grants, and out of that 50 billion 13 billion will be direct grants. the rest in loans. just to sustain ukrainian economy, and of course a lot of that will go into military purchases. now

well, what about viktor orbán, you may ask, but what, and this is not even surprising, the prime ministerary simply once again repeated the position previously expressed by the hungarian authorities that, as he called it , the conflict in ukraine can be ended only through negotiations, not on the battlefield. he also added that official budapest provides humanitarian aid to kyiv, which excludes the sending of weapons and troops. and at the same time called it a bad position, according to which one of the parties should be recognized as guilty and wrong , thanks to his deep orban belief that the issue of guilt should be resolved after the end of the war, then let's listen to the pragmatic peacemaker viktor orban in direct speech. hungarians see that russia will not defeat ukraine, but ukraine, which is supported by the west, will not defeat russia either. and not the position of saying that it is not possible to look for the guilty in the war, which russia started aggressively openly, on february 24, 2022, and at the same time the prime minister of hungary leaves to journalists and says th

argentine president javier meley, hungarian prime minister viktor orban, they all criticize the actionsf washington and the party, and the republicans, in conversations with tucker, which are broadcast on our channel, see an alternative to liberal dominance. american media. the legacy media is in decline because we caught them in lies and caught them in lies. propaganda. tycker has every right to interview putin. even tucker himself. is eyeing the post of vice president for donald trump if he wins the election, taking this into account, the reporters’ visit to moscow overseas is perceived as almost diplomatic. perhaps that's why tucker carlson is in russia. putin has been calling for peace all the time, but the us and globalists are sabotaging this at every opportunity. putin, like trump, stands in the way of their ultimate goal. fortunately, we have people like tucker who do the work of our diplomats. independent media can literally. end the war, look how the left is going crazy over it. however, the journalist himself, it seems, did not expect that she was making so much noise. did yo

is necessary to read the context very well, because these are really the actions and words of viktor orbanwhat was written to him there, someone suggested and so on and so on, he decided so, he decided to say it, well, it is interesting , why, i think that's all... after all, this swedish trend, yes, that is, now viktor orban is a reliable ally nato, if it didn't sound paradoxical and strange to us. mr. dmitry, what do you think, how do you see it, whether orbán and hungary in general are ready for the fact that russia could apply a scenario in transcarpathia, as it was with the dpr, lpr, now with transnistria, when they will not just be permanently somewhere to feed these separatist movements there, and they will take more active part in this, well, in the near future, do you see the possibility of such a scenario from russia in transcarpathia? i'll start from the end, because it's the most important, in my opinion, and the most dangerous, i don't see any possibilities, but here, you know, your question should be addressed to special bodies, because no matter how skeptical we are of them,

why has this become such a big threat to viktor orban?l family, has been a cornerstone of his policy for the last ia years in government. so in a way, no one expected this to become his achilles' heel, and for him to lose such popular and successful politicians as the head of state, the formerjustice minister, a top bishop, and so that is why it has been so painfulfor him. he is also not used to being on the defensive, and for the last week we have not actually seen the prime minister, so i think now in this state of the union address, state of the nation address, we will be expecting him to try to take back control of the narrative, draw a line under the paedophile scandal, and say look, we have taken the consequences for this, we have taken response ability for it, our people have resigned so let's get on. politically, this is important for him. we are four months ahead of the very important local and european elections. he really wants to end this subject while critics of the government want to keep it on the agenda and they still have

called it brussels, gripped by war fever, everything revolves around it, this is a quote from viktor orban, the events in slovakia, frankly demonstrate to the prime minister of ukraine, robert fitz, and his hungarian counterpart , the prime minister, viktor orban, that it is better to deal with internal affairs and the well-being and security of their own. people and comment less on events abroad, in particular in ukraine. mass protests against the actions of robert fico's government took place in slovakia the day before. about 60,000 people across the country took part in them. in bratislava alone, the capital of the country , 30,000 residents took to the streets. in this way, citizens want to show that they do not like the plans the current government to carry out a large-scale reform of the criminal legislation, which provides for the softening of punishments. for some crimes and the elimination of the special prosecutor's office, the opposition emphasizes that softening of punishments will turn slovakia into an eldorado for criminals. they themselves have problems, they need to solve t

i cannot understand and cannot accept this very strange, very selfish game of viktor orbán.or compromise here. ukraine is just the first line of defense. it is therefore very important to keep this first line of defense strong, and we must support them not only militarily respect. however, orban and tusk worried in vain. by the way, the eu is considering it as an additional source of funding. russian funds frozen in europe. lipa - european officials say, you can send the accrued interest from the money of the russian central bank to kiev, which, by the way, is 4 billion. as for european weapons, after the end of the summit, the head of the european commission ursula fondeen promised to allocate more tanks and helicopters to ukraine by the end of the twenty-fourth year and a million shells. vladimir putin today i spoke at the congress of the russian children and youth movement. the first, which takes place at vdnkh. the president spoke with the participants and summed up the results of this large-scale event. he also visited innovation sites on the sidelines of the russia exh

viktor orban managed to achieve three important changes in the final support project.rovide reports on the implementation of amounts paid. discussion of expenses will be at the level of leaders of eu member states. and if necessary, a new budget plan will be reviewed in 2 years. which goes to support ukraine, experts do not rule out that after this victory of viktor orban, an example with it can be taken by other participants. the small countries of europe, the countries of eastern and central europe, they look with interest at the policy of budapest in the sense that it is actively, but is a troublemaker, actively bargaining in western europe and getting some money for it their dividends, the bargaining situation is becoming typical for... and the european union, of course, these contradictions are the ability of small countries to use existing foreign policy issues to solve their own problems within european union, we will see similar examples in the future. in the meantime , the question arises to what extent even the announced 50 billion euros until 2027 can become

i mean, donald trump wants to follow in the path of viktor orban and lest we forget, this is somebody who for ban has, over the last decade systematically compromised or diluted all of the democratic institutions, short of actual voting? yes, they do have elections in hungary, but independent judiciary. it has been under attack. free press has been under attack. he's undermined european support for ukraine at its critical moment during this war in all anti-immigration, anti immigration policies outlaw transgender existence, not just that was the on-ramp. i think to interest in him was the immigration issue. right. >> that somehow like, look, this is what it looks >> like if you close the board, right? >> right. has tried to until close borders and otherwise moved away from the democratic project of europe that's been going on for 80 years now. and so when trump hugs up on him and says, this is the direction i want to go. that is a real warning for all of us, not just that or ban is embracing trump, but that trump indeed is enduring you're saying an or ban like government, which is wha

experts do not rule out that after this victory of viktor orban, other participants may follow his examplemall countries. countries of eastern and central europe, they look with interest at the policy of budapest in the sense that it is actively disturbing the peace, actively entering into the bargaining of western europe and receiving some dividends for this, the bargaining situation is becoming typical for the european union, of course, these contradictions are opportunities for small countries to use existing foreign policy. plots to solve their own problems within the european union, we will see similar examples in the future. in the meantime, the question arises to what extent even the announced 50 billion euros until 2027 can become an economic salvation for ukraine. the budget deficit this year is expected to be about $40 billion. prime minister of ukraine denis shmygali stated at the end of last year that the country’s economy is in survival mode, in the office. the president of ukraine has already been told that an additional 10-15 billion dollars are needed, but ukraine's total p

last december, viktor orban blocked the allocation of 50 billion euros to ukraine for 4 years, saying eu it's just a waste of money. he offered to provide financial assistance to kiev. annually, and even then with full and strict control over the expenditure of funds, after which orbán’s paes colleagues gave him such a hit that you wouldn’t wish it on your enemy. this time they took orban seriously in brussels, threatening to collapse his country’s economy and not unfreeze the 21 billion euros allocated to hungary from the european fund. how exactly the hungarian prime minister robert metzola was bent did not admit. however, orban himself explained everything on his social network page. i i voted, but on my own terms. we agreed on a control mechanism that guarantees the rational use of funds, and we received a guarantee that hungarian money will not end up in ukraine. as a result, ukraine was allocated 50 billion 17 in the form of grants and 33 in the form of loans, with the proviso that the amount of funds would be discussed annually. moreover, the formed fund for assistance to ukrai

last december, viktor orban blocked the allocation of 5 billion euros to ukraine for 4 years, saying that in this way the eu is simply throwing away money. at the december summit, orban, at the time of voting on ukraine’s accession to the eu, went out either to drink coffee or to go to the toilet. and the western press was wondering the day before whether orban would go out for coffee again today. to achieve anything in the european union these days, it seems, you need to kick hungarian prime minister viktor orbán out of the room. is this sustainable behavior, can they just lock the hungarian leader in the closet? the hungarian example likes to be in the center note, this skilled negotiator has extensive experience of blocking eu decisions to extract concessions, but the more orban becomes intransigent, the more european diplomats and officials question his goals at his cost. price. the president was presented with a large exposition of the it giants vk vkontakte and izbera, now these are entire virtual universes, not just a bank, a social network and cats on the internet. for example

and we need to solve a lot of problems, i generally cannot accept this strange, very selfish viktor orbán’sand there is no room for compromise here. i have a premonition that this photo was posted online by orban himself, the german chancellor, the french president, the prime minister of italy, and the entire top eu around. how the kites ask budapest to spare the next loan to help kiev, they caved in, hungary surrendered, the european union will withdraw a round sum to ukraine. we have good news, ukraine is our priority, which is why we need to agree on a budget for it, this will give the authority, legitimacy and predictability that is expected of us, and it seems we have succeeded. having cast his vote, the hungarian prime minister immediately stated: we were afraid that the means. kiev, but we received an offer and agreed on a control mechanism that guarantees the reasonable use of this money, what was offered to orban and how they intimidated him is still unclear, journalists are guessing, but irritation is on the face, instead of dinner with those who have been putting pressure on buda

but in general, for viktor orbán , it looked like a rather serious defeat on all the main stumbling blocksd not expect mr. orbán to back down. we thought he would hold out to the last, on this annual review, but he gave up after a lot of pressure, especially from donald tusk. apparently, tusk told orbán to choose who he wanted to be with , the european union or russia, and in fact viktor orbán had no choice. so exactly... everything undermined his negotiating position. valery klitchok is in touch with us. mr. valery, we already had an example of how orban agreed, then suddenly could change his mind. oh this time, can it happen, can it let's say, the hungarian prime minister further obstruct? well, of course, he will make some statements, but in terms of formality, the withdrawal of some of his agreements there, it is unlikely to happen. there are several factors here. first , europe is demonstrating its unity. secondly, today very powerful military exercises are taking place on the eastern borders of the european union, which is evidence that europe is ready to oppose russia's military agg

viktor orban called those negotiations exciting productive.r his part, promised to sell four combat aircraft to hungary, the deal took place and the head of the parliamentary faction of the ruling fidesz party, matya kotcsis, did not interfere this time. we have reached an agreement that we will add four more aircraft to the fleet. sweden will be a reliable and committed member of nato, we will take on significant responsibility in our region and contribute to the security of all allies. sweden's defense spending exceeds 2% of gdp this year and will continue to rise for the foreseeable future future. that hungary is a sovereign country and does not allow it to dictate its terms, the americans put pressure on budapest as best they could, the democrats even suggested that the white house think about sanctions and exclude the country from the american visa-free regime program. experienced politician viktor orban, all the time while stockholm was knocking on the door of the alliance, said that in general he was not against it, the deputies were no

let me remind you that viktor orbán, the prime minister of hungary , blocked this agreement for several particular the planned planning summit at the end of december last year ended with no agreement on this issue, as the media reported, this was due to the fact that that hungary sought to unblock the budget, which until now brussels did not send hungary, apparently brussels agreed to this condition, the second one. the mistake of europe is that the voice of the people is not taken seriously, the leaders do not take the opinion of the people seriously, this is the number one problem, we can discuss migration or the conflict in ukraine, whatever, but the voice of the people on the streets is ignored, this is a democratic deficit. at today's next summit, the leaders of the european union countries came with one single question: to convince them to remove the fact that it has already happened. security, this is obvious and it is unacceptable and we must think about everyone possible measures against orban, but not today. considering that on the main and only issue outside the next summit ,

are one of the main political competitors of the conservative fidesz party, which is headed by viktor orbán it is absolutely... electoral history, and torotskaya wants to increase her political influence, although according to sociologists, the level of support for his party in hungary itself is somewhere between 6-10%. and that's why these statements, they were more or less synchronous, and torotskaya and claudio tarziu in romania. ziyu said that we must not forget about northern bukovyna, about the region of hertz, about transcarpathia, also reminded tarziu, eh, and in romania, at the end of this year , parliamentary elections are to be held, and that political force, tarziu, is the union-alliance of romania, it already has its own political representation. in the senate of romania, and this is also a purely political electoral story, but for russia it was necessary to once again highlight the information of these politicians, and i , in particular, monitored what was written about, how the hungarian and romanian media wrote about it, and more. .. six media just condemned such a statement

he's had this affection for viktor orban, who, which goes beyond trump. there's this fascination and part of the american right cpac has hosted viktor orban. they see him as sort of this christian nationalist who's taking hungry that direction. the reality is this. this is a man who has tried to block aid from the eu to you crane finally had to give in on that, tried to block sweden's membership. and i think the fascination probably comes much more from a place of siding with russia against, against ukraine in this war effort this, this is, donald trump is very much cut from the same cloth as viktor orban. it's this strong man-type way of leading. the way the rhetoric that he uses, the way that he appeals to his audience is very similar. and i'm not surprised in any way that both this endorsement came and he was proud to tout it. >> so we said john bolton on last hour in one of the things that ambassador bolton says, is that in his mind, don't trump doesn't have any views per say, except that i'm going to do what's good for donald trump. so when it comes

negotiations with the european union begins, it will also be necessary to sit down at the table with viktor orban or another someone to coax, convince, make compromises, viktor said, after he received a decision on ukraine's negotiations with we will have a million more opportunities to block it all, well , it's true, he will have opportunities, how to overcome it all? well, i would even say that it will not only be necessary to sit down and negotiate with viktor orbán, it will be necessary to sit down and negotiate with a large number of individual countries of the european union with regard to one or another, perhaps sensitive issues for them, and it will be very not an easy process, so you know, i remember everything... the phrase, me it seems that six months remained until the moment when the prime minister of ukraine shmyhal promised that we would already be in the european union, i think it was in january of the 23rd year, if i am not mistaken, whether it was in january or even , well, somewhere like that, well, let’s count maybe 8-9 months until that date, and it is obvious that it will be

we are not tired of ukraine, we are tired of viktor orban.eto on the allocation of 50 billion euros. in ukraine , everything was discussed, including the thermonuclear option, the application of article 7 of the treaty on the european union, deprivation of the right to vote, why wasn’t it used? you see, if we begin this procedure, we must be sure that it will have the result that 26 will oppose one, and this is not obvious. what if someone supports hungary, orban eventually received a black mark through the media, internal documents of the european commission were leaked to the financial times. in a document drawn up by eu officials. seen by the financial times, brussels laid out a strategy clearly targeting hungary's economic weaknesses. its goal is to jeopardize the country's currency and cause investor confidence to collapse in an attempt. harm jobs and economic growth, if budapest refuses to lift its veto on aid to kiev. orban said he has no doubt about the reality of the plan; he believes that then armageddon would come to his country. a

emergency summit of eu leaders is being held in brussels in order to persuade hungarian prime minister viktor orbansupport a military aid package for ukraine... of course, what we need today is to strengthen our unity around ukraine against russia and its aggressive policies. wherein european politicians still noticed the indignation of their people, but they clearly do not intend to solve the problems of farmers. as you can see, there is a major protest by farmers in brussels, we should be able to discuss this topic in the council because of the concerns of the protesters. labor, their president and his wife attend social evenings, while macron attends a magnificent royal reception in sweden. of course, this is much nicer than smoke from tires, tires and exhaust fumes. the french president's prank was appreciated in the media, including in social networks. moldova is also protesting today. people are dissatisfied with the country's course towards joining nato and are demanding the resignation of president sandu and early elections. the protesters brought balloons with them as an illustration of th

hungary's prime minister viktor orban is the closest european leader to vladimir putin.ure from the us and other western countries, he paved the way for today's vital vote. translation: this is an historic day. i it makes little stronger, swedens safer and all of us more secure. russia's full—scale invasion of ukraine was partly aimed at preventing the expansion of nato to its borders. but it had the opposite effect, with finland first and now sweden becoming nato members, giving the alliance almost full control over the baltic sea. for two centuries sweden had been militarily neutral, but the war in ukraine turned public opinion around. the threat from russia has always been very real. we're very close to it so we've always been very vulnerable. it's the right path for us. i think, yeah, in this era it's better to be part of an alliance standing independent and neutral. sweden will bring nato its modern airforce and submarines specially adapted to the baltic sea. it gains a security umbrella backed by nuclear deterrence. the prime minister of sweden described it as a hi

hungarian prime minister viktor orban announced this today in his annual message on budapest’s policyemphasized: hungary will not allow itself to be drawn into the conflict in ukraine and objects to new sanctions against russia. according to viktor orban, the strategy of the european union. failed miserably on the ukrainian issue, the leadership in brussels needs to be changed so that it thinks primarily about the interests of europe, and does not carry out orders from overseas. without further ado, brussels provided europeans to themselves. never has there been such a gap between the policies of brussels and the interests and will of europeans. therefore, change is needed in brussels. this will not happen on its own, only by force. it is necessary to occupy brussels in order to finally get there. in essence , this is a big information marathon, its goal is to answer the questions that concern voters, while the presidential candidates and their proxies continue to work in the regions. details from kirill brainin. still unfamiliar with the details of the upcoming vote, then they come t
