Criticizing the EU’s sanctions against Russia, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said, “sanction policy of EU simply does not work.”

It is not reasonable to introduce sanction packages for the 11th time hoping that the outcome will be different, Urban said at Qatar Economic Forum on Tuesday.

After the beginning of the war between Russia and Ukraine in February 2022, the Western world, especially Europe, tries to paralyze the Russian economy by implementing sanctions, such as export bans and prohibitions to provide strategic products.

He stressed that instead of getting involved in the war, escalation should be stopped.

He also said Hungary has a nuclear power plant, which is based on Russian technology, and the country has to use Russian technology because using a different one is too risky.
