Quick Glance: Europe "shot itself in the lungs" with sanctions on Russia, according to Orban
- BUDAPEST, 15 JULY (Reuters) - The European Union has "shot itself in the lungs" with ill-considered economic sanctions against Russia, which, if not reversed, risk ruining the European economy, according to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
- Orban stated that Ukraine required assistance, but European leaders should reevaluate their tactics, as sanctions have harmed the European economy while doing nothing to undermine Russia or bring the months-long conflict to an end.
- If Orban is re-elected in April, he will have to dismantle the entire utility price control regime unless Wednesday's curbs are implemented, which will result in an increase in energy bills for homes utilizing more energy than the national average.
