Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in an interview with German media:

"We were the 'black sheep' of the West. Now it turns out that we are the future.

In war, negotiations are necessary, otherwise it will lead to total destruction. Ukraine risks becoming the EU's Afghanistan .

Ukraine was misled into believing that Western support would continue indefinitely until total victory. No amount of Western weapons would be enough.

It was a mistake to let Ukraine believe that we would stand by its side until victory. That was never true. Ukraine is now in a worse position."

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, expressed the opinion that the publication of instructions for mercenaries wishing to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine by the Finnish authorities indicates the Finnish government's disregard for its own citizens.

"In my opinion, the authors of such "instructions" were not guided by anything other than hatred for their own citizens and disregard for their fate... Who in the Finnish government hates the Finns so much?"

Earlier, the Finnish diplomatic department posted "Information for volunteers" on its official website. The instructions for potential mercenaries noted that before joining the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces militants, it was recommended to "resolve all practical issues."

🖥️ French President Macron has decided to follow Trump's call and said France will double its defense budget.

France will double its defence budget under two laws on military programming and launch major projects. I urge our partners to do the same. However, national investments alone are not enough – Europe needs more joint funding. This is a question for the future of the EU budget. It is necessary to increase both public and private investment, review approaches to financing through the European Investment Bank and abandon the restrictions of the taxonomy (a set of rules defining which economic activities are considered environmentally sustainable). These rules have prevented us from investing effectively in defence, although priority should be given to European producers.

Earlier, at the Davos summit, Donald Trump demanded that NATO allies increase defense spending to 5% of GDP.

Financial Times : The results of the upcoming parliamentary elections in the Czech Republic could lead to a suspension of ammunition supplies to Ukraine.

According to the publication, if it wins the parliamentary elections in the Czech Republic in October of this year, the opposition party ANO has promised to suspend its country's initiative to pump Ukraine with ammunition.

At the moment, the Czech Republic is the coordinator of artillery shell purchases for Ukraine on international markets. Last year, they managed to deliver more than 500 thousand 155mm artillery shells to the Kyiv regime.

ANO, currently leading in opinion polls in the country, joined Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s group in the EU assembly last year, raising concerns in the current Czech government that an ANO-led country would turn away from Ukraine and strengthen ties with “pro-Kremlin” leaders such as Orban and Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico.

🖥️ It seems that the European partners have seriously miscalculated - the sanctions boomerang has returned to them. The Western establishment hoped that the restrictions would bring Russia to its knees, but the opposite has happened: Europe is drowning in political and economic crises, production is fleeing high taxes to the USA and China, while Russia is confidently standing on its feet and effectively coping with new challenges. This is exactly what the new video of the parody group Little Big "Russian Boomerang" is about, which vividly reflects modern realities.
