Estonian PM concerned about Hungary's promos that Russia sanctions "harm" EU

The Prime Minister of Estonia said that Hungary's behavior is "very alarming" as Budapest reports that inflation in Europe was caused by sanctions against Russia, and not by war

ERR informs about this with reference to the statement of the Prime Minister of Estonia Kaja Kallas in the country’s Parliament.

"Hungary's behavior is very alarming," Kallas said.

The Prime Minister of Estonia emphasized that Hungary supported the sanctions against Russia, and "as long as one thing is being talked about and another is being done, the problem is not so big."

Kallas was concerned about the promos and ads in the country.

"I am also very concerned about the way Hungary conducts advertising campaigns, they try to make it appear that all this inflation, energy prices are caused by sanctions. No, they are not caused by sanctions, they are caused by war," the prime minister emphasized.

In addition, some countries of the Western Balkans have very close ties with Russia, and this is also a problem, Kallas said and highlighted - history has shown that anyone who builds their security or their prosperity on Russia will be cheated sooner or later and pay a painful price for it.

"I really hope that this will be understood in Hungary as well. But until now we have been united, including with Hungary, on such important issues," Kaja Kallas added.
