The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs disagrees with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's criticism of sanctions against Russia.
The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Oleh Nikolenko, reminded him the sanctions had been imposed in response to full-scale Russia's war against Ukraine, which took tens of thousands of Ukrainian lives, destroyed hundreds of thousands of critical infrastructure facilities and forced millions of people to leave their homes.
"Sanctions help bring the aggressor state to justice for its crimes, as well as weaken its ability to continue the war. It is not the sanctions killing the European economy but Russia's hybrid war," Nikolenko said to European Pravda.
According to him, the Prime Minister of Hungary should not call for lifting sanctions against Russia while the Russian army is cold-bloodedly killing Ukrainian children in Vinnytsia, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, and other cities. On the contrary, he should call for increasing effective measures to deter aggressive Russian policy.
