Viktor Orban has returned to the ranks. THE’Hungary removed the veto – After a declaration of reassurance of the Commission on the supplies of gas And petroliumtotally defined by random – and theEuropean Union has renewed the penalties at the Russia for another six months. A discounted ending, given the position taken by Donald Trump last week: O Fly accept the negotiationhad threatened the US Presidentor will meet more restrictions.
“THE’EU keeps the promises, “commented the high representative Kaja Kallasspecifying that the European guarantee onenergy It was “important for Budapest».
The extension of the penalties you spend the way for negotiations on 16th packagewhich should see an additional turn of lives against the Russian shadow fleet. On the weekend, in Balticthe umpteenth has occurred accident to the detriment of ansubmarine infrastructure (a damaged connector cable) and again the suspicions point towards the Kremlin. “The hybrid actions from the Russia they are increasing in frequency and intensity throughout theEU: our inability to discourage these actions sends a dangerous signal to any attacker because the weakness encourages them and this is very clear », he warned Kallas. «If we do not act now, we risk further aggressions And it is essential to increase i costs for those behind these attacks».

THE’EU – says the reasoning – is one economic power they European they should have more confidence in themselves, both when they have to do with opponents both when they treat with i partner. Kallas however he did not want to confirm whether the theme of the Greenland was addressed during the day, except to comment that “theEU it is stronger when it is unit». “As a ministerwe have to listen to the Trump presidentbut maybe not a word for word », he added Kallas.
