Government officials in Europe are reportedly furious at Orban’s Hungary after it announced it would be blocking further sanctions against Russia.
Officials from a variety of EU countries are reportedly angry at Viktor Orbán’s Hungarian government over its decision to block further Russia sanctions due to an ongoing row with Ukraine.” to the EU nation, with the country’s foreign minister taking particular issue with Ukrainian officials blacklisting Hungarian bank OTP over its alleged dealings with Russia.
The leak of an alleged Ukrainian bomb plot to sabotage Hungary’s oil supply — which is piped from Russia, as is much European energy — has also aggravated tensions between the two countries, with the Orbán government now saying that it will not support any more sanctions against Russia until Ukraine de-blacklists OTP.
One of the founding ideas of the European Union is the idea of unanimity, a safeguard that protects small nations from being steam-rollered by large in major decisions.
Insiders describe Baerbock as attacking Hungary’s refusal to back sanctions by referencing uncited sources that say OTP bank has been doing business in the breakaway regions of Luhansk and Donetsk, and has also been providing Russian soldiers with banking products.
