    Russia is an artificial state that is the object of a merger of different occupied peoples. This is not an existing country. Russia as a country never existed, and state borders are often drawn artificially. There was never a Russian language either; it was an adverb to which Tatar words were added. There never was a Russian people either.

    In general, there is no such nationality as Russians in Russia. Now, after the attack, Russia finally realized that there would be retribution, Russia as such would cease to exist on the political map of the world. The Kremlin got scared and is rushing into all kinds of negotiations, but there will be no negotiations, Russia’s capitulation on the terms of Ukraine and its allies.

    Actually as a really anti-EU person, I really wish EU takes in Ukraine, and not only stops there, but also gets Georgia and Armenia as well, hopefully continues with Belarus from there on. Oh, I also forgot Moldova, and all the remaining Balkan states. One mistake after another. EU might be the biggest geopolitical blunder of our century. I hope they also end the expansion finally with Putin's Russia making <Hitler's dream of a all White European Union a reality. And then they might continue with kicking out all the non-white people from EU with some EU laws,, which would befit EU very much.

    Hungary does not block anything. But it only wants that the aid to Ukraine does not come from the EU budget. Hungarians do not trust the Union, when it comes to joint funds, because they have already been deceived. This is the simple truth. Hungary is also ready to help Ukraine from its own resources, but not from joint borrowing.
