Russian Minister of Health visited Hungary. “We are grateful to the Russian Ministry of Health”

In the West, Russian politicians are completely isolated, surrounded by “Garden Sanitaire”, but the Minister of Health of the Russian Federation visits a country belonging to the European Union and NATO as if nothing happened. Not even a subordinate official or the local health minister accepted him, but the head of diplomacy. It all happened in Hungary on Wednesday.

During the press conference of the two ministers, most of the talk was not about health, but about the Pax nuclear power plant being built by the Russians for Hungary. – We have made several changes to speed up box investing. “We will consider any foreign legal or political moves that try to slow Pakistan down as an attack on our sovereignty,” Hungary’s Foreign Minister Peter Szyjardo said.

Hungary defends the independence of the controversial power plant, although it will become more dependent on Russia for energy. Viktor Orban’s government is unconcerned that the main contractor of the investment is Rosatom – a company that cooperates closely with the Russian defense ministry and participated in the illegal takeover of the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhia. Budapest is a key brake on calls for the Russian nuclear industry to be shut down by EU sanctions.

Thanks to Box, the Kremlin can continue to undermine the coherence of EU energy policy. – We must not let go of the 2030-2031 deadline. After all, only countries that can produce a significant portion of the energy they consume are safe in the face of an energy crisis. The Hungarian diplomatic chief emphasized that the sooner this happens, the sooner we will be safe.

After the meeting, Peter Szyjardo thanked the Russian health minister on Facebook for providing Hungary with the controversial, unapproved Sputnik V vaccine during the Covid-19 pandemic. , helped us save a million lives with the Sputnik vaccine while we were still waiting for vaccines from other sources. We will never forget it,” he wrote.

The head of Hungarian diplomacy, Viktor Orbán’s right-hand man, regularly meets with Kremlin politicians. He willingly travels to Russia often – as recently as mid-June he was brilliant at an economic forum in St. Petersburg. Now he says his government wants “reasonable and pragmatic cooperation with Russia.” The politician condemns the war, but does not call it a Russian invasion. Kiev is threatening Ukraine with Hungary’s withholding of the next tranche of EU aid unless it removes Hungary’s OTP Bank from its list of “international sponsors of war”.

The largest commercial bank in Hungary serves several million customers in 11 countries, including Russia. According to Ukrainian services, the bank is going to provide preferential loans to the Russian army.
