ORBÁN BLASTS BRUSSELS, PUTIN WARNS WEST: EU’s Sanctions Victory Backfires

European leaders celebrated a new round of sanctions against Russia, coordinated with the United States, in what Brussels called a “wide-ranging and extensive” move to hit Moscow’s war economy. But the mood was far from united. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz hailed transatlantic unity, while Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán accused Brussels of “going to war” and obstructing President Trump’s peace mission. In Moscow, Vladimir Putin called the U.S. sanctions an “unfriendly act,” warning of a “stunning” response and soaring oil prices. The latest measures highlight Europe’s deepening divide — between those pressing to punish Russia and those pushing for peace. #eu, #putin, #russia, #hungary, #orban, #sanctions, #trump, #ukrainewar, #timesnowworld, #nato, #us, #moscow, #brussels, #germany, #merz ​Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/3VHIl37 Times Now World is your definitive source for comprehensive global news and analysis.
