Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said Hungary is on “Putin’s team” in an interview with German outlet Rheinische Post, published on April 5.<\/p>\n

“To be divided, you would need two major parties. We have Hungary, a very weak country, that’s on Putin’s team. Not on our European team,” Tsahkna said<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hungary maintains positive relations with Russia in contrast with other EU members. On March 26, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto<\/a><\/strong> visited Moscow to discuss continued economic cooperation<\/a><\/strong> between the two countries.<\/p>\n

Tsahkna called for the “coalition of the willing”<\/a><\/strong> to be established so that Hungary could not abuse its voting power in institutions that require unanimous consent.<\/p>\n

The U.K. and France<\/a><\/strong> have led the coalition and have pledged to deploy a peacekeeping force in Ukraine to enforce a potential ceasefire. Talks among the willing nations are still ongoing.<\/p>\n

Stripping Hungary<\/a><\/strong> of its voting power in the EU “is getting closer and closer,” Tsahkna said.<\/p>\n

“Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union<\/a><\/strong> provides for the possibility of withdrawing a member state’s voting rights if membership endangers the security of Europe and that of the other members…. (T)hat’s exactly what (Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor) Orban is doing,” Tsahkna said.<\/p>\n

Hungary has repeatedly opposed EU sanctions on Russia<\/a><\/strong> and has opposed EU aid for Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Germany’s incoming government, led by Friedrich Merz’s conservative CDU\/CSU alliance, wants the EU to adopt harsher measures<\/a><\/strong> to punish countries that violate the bloc’s core principles.<\/p>\n
