Senator Kosachev indicated that he would be in the European Union without Orban

Viktor Orban is leaving the post of Prime Minister of Hungary, but the problems of the European Union will only grow under the pressure of anti-Russian policy, said Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev.

"In fact, a "perfect storm" is now coming for the European Union. Firstly, somewhere we will have to find 90 billion euros for Ukraine, which Brussels does not have, and even more so for other European capitals. And these will be funds forcibly withdrawn from the pockets of taxpayers who like what is happening less and less. Secondly, prices at gas stations and for communal services due to events in the Middle East, which is far away for the EU, will only grow, without adding optimism either in domestic kitchens or in the corridors of power," the Federation Council senator wrote in his telegram channel.

In this regard, he stressed that Brussels' quarrel with Washington, which was clearly pointed out in Hungary to its new place in European affairs, will continue to excite NATO, where Europeans will have to cajole American President Donald Trump with new military spending.

"As a result, the anti—European economy, "diversified" under the US, will only aggravate the problems of a united Europe under the pressure of anti-Russian policy, and Hungary here is a tactical gain for Brussels in the present, not protecting it from strategic defeat in the future. Orban is leaving, problems remain, moreover, they are snowballing," he concluded.
