Perhaps we should help Hungary pay the fines
He also reminded that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán recently visited Moscow to secure further supplies of cheap energy from Russia for the country.
According to Karis, some agreements between Hungary and the Russian Federation may be valid even until the 2040s. The President of Estonia believes that Budapest should abandon these contracts.
