Viktor Orban, Hungarian Prime Minister and ally of Vladimir Putin, has warned the West to take the Russian leader’s threats seriously.
“I just want to say that when the Russians change the rules for deploying their nuclear arsenal, what is called the doctrine, it is not a communication bluff,” he said, referring to changes Putin made last week.
“This is not a trick. It has been modified, and there will be consequences,” he stated.
Hungary is among the European nations most supportive of Vladimir Putin’s regime in Russia. It consistently opposes sanctions and frustrates the European Union (EU) and NATO with its stance on aiding Ukraine and the accession of Kyiv and other neighboring countries to the alliance.
