The facts of the European Commission's interference in the internal affairs of Poland and Hungary have been made public.

On April 15, the media reported on the desire of EU countries to circumvent Hungary's veto when imposing sanctions against the Russian Federation.

On April 11, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations Peter Szijjarto said that the possibility that Hungary would be deprived of the right to vote in the European Union (EU) against the background of new sanctions against Moscow was excluded. He added that Hungarians are interested in peace in Ukraine, as are residents of other countries outside Europe. The continuation of the conflict is supported only in Western Europe.
