Orban can help Putin return hundreds of billions of frozen assets.
The Estonian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Margus Tsahkna, stated that if Hungary blocks the extension of sanctions against Russia, the European Union will have to return 240 billion euros of frozen assets to Russia.
'If the money is not returned, it will mean that Hungary has received a 240 billion euro loan. And it will be returned to the hands of Russia, which we know is an aggressor, this act signifies support for the aggressor,' Tsahkna stated.
Vladimir Putin as a 'liar' and called for the confiscation of frozen Russian assets.
According to Tsahkna, part of the assets of the Russian Central Bank is located in Belgium. He also emphasized that the decision on sanctions against Russia requires the consent of all EU member states, including Hungary. If such consent is not achieved, Russian assets may be unlocked. Tsahkna urged not to leave Belgium alone with this issue and not to hand over money to Russia, which is an aggressor.
