Russia's partial mobilization work and the referendum process for the four states including Khlsong have begun. Since EU insists on the position of "aggression with Ukraine and anti-Russia", it is necessary to respond.
In addition to continuing to provide assistance to Ukraine, what the EU can do is increase sanctions on Russia. According to Reuters html on the 222nd, the foreign ministers of EU countries are considering imposing the eighth round of sanctions on Russia, including tightening the export of high-tech products to Russia and banning the import of Russian diamonds. At the same time, the EU plans to set a price cap on Russian oil.
However, the EU is not a solid piece, and Hungarian once again demonstrates a "rebellious" style.
After the war between Russia and Ukraine, when the EU imposed multiple rounds of sanctions on Russia one after another, Hungary opposed the sanctions while strengthening energy cooperation with Russia. To teach Hungary a lesson, the EU issued "corruption charges" against Hungary, and stopped issuing 7.5 billion euros of aid funds on this grounds.
However, the EU's punishment did not change Hungary's concept. Hungary is still quite "iron-headed" and once again sang against the EU.
According to the Russian Satellite News Agency on the 23rd, Hungarian Foreign Minister Sijaldo once again questioned the EU's sanctions on Russia. Sijaldo pointed out that Hungary believes that the EU's new round of sanctions on Russia is meaningless.
At the same time, Hungary still tends to strengthen cooperation with Russia in the field of energy. In the meeting notice of the Russian-Hungarian Foreign Ministers, the foreign ministers of the two countries discussed the actual task of further developing cooperation in the field of energy, and the foreign ministers of Hungarian Foreign Ministers highly praised the cooperation with the Russian Gas Company.
From this point of view, Hungary is planning to "go to the darkest way". Hungary, however, has no choice.
On the one hand, from the perspective of Hungary, Hungary is unwilling to fall into an energy dilemma. , with Hungary's geographical location, economic strength and infrastructure level, even if you find a new energy supplier, you will either not be able to relieve your near thirst or you will not be able to afford the cost. Compared with the family background of Germany, France and other countries, Hungary has a much worse ability to withstand crises;
On the other hand, Hungary is indeed considering the future of the EU. The EU is determined to be "unty" with Russia. However, even if the EU survives winter, it does not mean that Russia will be defeated after winter, nor does it mean that the EU can get rid of the energy crisis. The EU has been tested for heating, but the operation of industry requires the continuous supply of cheap energy. The EU has faced huge risks of " de-industrialization " and "economic recession".
Not to mention, the EU electricity crisis has begun to worsen after the end of the cold winter. French President Macron is still calling on the public to save electricity. As a "pioneer against Russia", Estonia also urges the public to prepare for the power supply issue.
However, the EU has been under the influence of many factors due to excessive investment in "aggression and resistance to Russia" and is now in a difficult situation. Hungary once again refused to advance and retreat with the EU and showed obvious suspicion of "pro-Russia", which is likely to be punished by the EU again.
EU sources revealed that the EU may cancel the veto power for decisions involving Russia, that is, when the EU decides on sanctions plan against Russia, EU member states will lose the " veto power ". The EU's move is simply aimed at Hungary, after all, Hungary is the most fiercely opposed to sanctions against Russia.
But it has to be mentioned that the EU’s cancellation of the veto power of decisions involving Russia is not a good thing for many EU member states, such as Polish .
Poland has always been ambitious, regarding itself as the leader of "New Europe" and is willing to set up a doorstep. It has always been quite dissatisfied with the suppression of Brussels . Some time ago, the Polish foreign minister openly accused the EU of having a "imperialist tendency", pointing out that larger member states within the EU are trying to dominate other member states, and smaller EU countries suffer from the freedom and equality deficit within the EU.
Although Poland often faces France and Germany and has its own small abacus, Poland's statement is not unreasonable.Several core EU members of Germany and France are indeed suspected of replacing their will with the EU will. Germany pressured Poland to give up its currency and switch to the euro, which also made Poland quite dissatisfied.
For the EU, "anti-Russia" has become a political correctness, but for the large member states within the EU, "anti-Russia" may become an available "flag". The EU can cancel the "veto power" of Russia-related policies today, and tomorrow it can also curb Russia's needs to expand Brussels' power and take the opportunity to exert the will of larger member states on other "partners".
Although it is difficult for the EU to get rid of the control of the United States and achieve strategic independence of Europe, within Europe, the EU can also become a tool for some member states to mercy on other countries. Now targeting the maverick Hungary, the unknown who will be the next member state will be.
