RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin defended Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban as the latter was accused of having pro-Russian sentiments.
‘‘He does not have pro-Russian sentiments, he is not a pro-Russian politician, he is a pro-Hungarian politician.”
“And they attack him mainly not because he takes a position that is different from other European leaders, but because he has the courage to defend the interests of his people. And many political figures in Europe today are deprived of this courage; they do not have such courage. They envy him, and that’s why they attack him,’’ Putin stated.
