Sanctions Pain Prompts Eastern EU States to Shout Enough - Bloomberg:
"Hungary joined Slovakia in calling on the European Union to reverse its sanctions on Russia, saying that the restrictions are harming the 28-nation bloc.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that he’s “doing everything” to push for a change to the EU’s sanctions regime, and called for a summit with Russia to discuss long-term cooperation and the conflict in Ukraine that prompted the tit-for-tat punitive measures.
“Western sanctions, which automatically trigger a Russian response, cause greater harm to us than to the Russians,” Orban said today on Hungarian MR1 radio. “In politics, we call this shooting oneself in the foot.”"
