Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s threats to his Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orban over sanctions against Russia exemplify Western democracy, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
"That’s Western democracy for you," she wrote on Telegram.
On January 24, Orban demanded that, ahead of the discussion on extending the sanctions scheduled for January 27, Ukraine meet three conditions: restore the transit of Russian gas, cease attacks on the TurkStream pipeline and guarantee it won’t end oil transit through the country. The prime minister made it clear that Budapest's position on extending the sanctions will depend on the reaction in Kiev and Brussels.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk threatened his Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orban with consequences if he vetoes the extension of sanctions against Russia.
"If Prime Minister Viktor Orban really blocks European sanctions at a key moment for the war, it’ll be absolutely clear that in this big game for the security and future of Europe, he is playing in [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s team, not in ours. With all the consequences of this fact," he wrote on X.

Туск, который сейчас председательствует в ЕС, предупредил в соцсети X Орбана о возможных последствиях наложения вето на продление санкций против России. По мнению польского политика, в таком случае станет ясно, что премьер Венгрии «играет» на стороне Путина, а не Европы.
