Hungarian minister: We are working with the Russians on a solution to avoid US sanctions 🔄
Change language:
European leaders have “missed a great opportunity” to amend their “failed” Ukraine strategy, and they should have doubled down on peace efforts amid the current danger of escalation, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, said in Pécs, in southern Hungary. He also said that the Hungarian Foreign Ministry is working with the Russians to find a solution to avoid US sanctions.
Addressing a National Consultation campaign event on Monday evening, the minister said Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election had brought closer a peaceful resolution to the war, but the danger of escalation had also grown, “due to the measures of the outgoing Washington administration that ignore the will of the people”.
Szijjártó said EU leaders could have used the US developments as an excuse to amend their “failed Ukraine strategy, which is also weakening the continent”.
He said his latest visit to Moscow had been aimed at bolstering peace efforts and further guaranteeing Hungary’s energy security, as US sanctions against Gazprombank had put countries purchasing Russian energy resources in a difficult situation.
The background to this case is that the US introduced sanctions back in November, excluding 50 other Russian financial institutions from the international financial system in addition to Gazprombank. The measure is aimed at preventing the financing of the war in Ukraine. Gazprombank manages Gazprom’s finances, and all purchases and payments for energy are made through this bank.
“We are now working together on a solution with the Russians, company leaders and the deputy PM for energy…” Szijjártó said.
President Trump will resolve everything! Interestingly, it appears he is actually destined for a head on collision with BRICS, On the US Dollar, trade, you name it

Wonder how a political and economic powerhouse such as Hungary will fit in, how Mr. Szijjártó manages to slam the square peg into the round hole?
What exactly did Szijjarto do to get the Russians to “de-escalate”? This ass-licker of Putin shakes hands with the henchman of the 21st century Hitler who has been bombing the civilian population of Ukraine for almost three years. Putin has been targeting electrical infrastructure to leave millions of Ukrainians to freeze in winter. He threatens the world with nuclear annihilation and Szijjarto has the gall to accuse Europeans of “escalation”? These Hungarian ass-lickers work for Russia – period.
I wonder why all of the so-called “National Consultancies” have avoided some very straightforward and easily understood questions…….like,
1. Should Hungary remain a signatory country to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)? ( ) yes ( ) no
2. Should Hungary remain a signatory country to the European Union (EU)? ( ) yes ( ) no
3. Should Hungary join BRICS and the New Development Bank? ( ) yes ( ) no
and lets’s throw in a bonus question just for fun…..
4. Should Hungary remain a signatory country to the International Criminal Court; ( ) yes, ( ) no ……..or should Hungary just pick and choose the court orders we like and ignore others like we have with NATO and EU decisions? ( ) yes ( ) no
It is blatantly obvious that this is what the current leadership of Hungary is working overtime to accomplish. Sooner or later they are going to have to prove that these are wonderful ideas with a “National Consultancy”, so why not do it now?
