"The European Union should scrap its sanctions against Russia by the end of this year," Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said, according to Magyar Nemzet newspaper, APA reports citing Bloomberg.

Orban told his lawmakers in a closed-door meeting that sanctions have hurt Europe’s economy more than Russia’s and withdrawing them would tame inflation and reduce the risk of a recession, the newspaper, closely affiliated with the premier’s party, reported on Thursday without citing anyone.
