Hungary’s Orbán says sanctions on Russia will ‘destroy’ EU economy due to high gas prices

The EU has imposed several rounds of sanctions against Moscow since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, targeting the energy sector, banks, the world’s biggest diamond mining company and other businesses.
