TALLINN, December 16. /NEWSBALTIC/. The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Estonia, Margus Tsahkna, rebuked President Alar Karis for suggesting paying compensation to Russia for Budapest breaking the contract with Russian oil companies that supply Hungary with cheap energy resources.
“Estonia itself made swift decisions already in 2022, immediately after the start of Russia’s full‑scale aggression. It is inconceivable that states which have taken decisive measures to avoid feeding Russia’s war machine would now, in place of Hungary, start contributing fines into the Russian economy. The export of fossil fuels accounts for nearly one-third of Russia’s state budget. Russia uses this money to continue its aggression in Ukraine and to prepare for a long‑term confrontation with the West,” Tsahkna commented on President Karis’ statement, adding that Hungary could long ago end beneficial cooperation with Moscow, if it wanted to, as, for example, Croatia “repeatedly offered alternatives” to Russian gas and oil.
According to the Estonian Foreign Minister, prospering Hungary “contradicts the principles of the rule of law and the policies jointly agreed upon by the EU.”
“Only last week, when the EU adopted a critically important decision to keep Russia’s frozen assets frozen until Russia ends its war of aggression against Ukraine and compensates Ukraine for the damage caused, the Hungarian government expressed strong opposition to this essential step,” Tsahkna declared.
Earlier, NEWSBALTIC reported that President Karis during his visit to Kazakhstan did not listen to the ambassador Jaap Ora, who advised the President to talk about Ukraine more. Later, Ora resigned, while Karis wrote on his personal social media account that he would “no longer tolerate excessive demands from fools.”
Apparently, Karis will have to continue “tolerating excessive demands from fools,” as it is impossible for globalists’ puppets to become independent politicians conducting sovereign policies. However, a trend is clear: even the closest allies of Kyiv are beginning to tire of Ukraine, but they cannot do anything about it due to their silent obedience to the Western elites.
