Pro-Russian Hungarian Premier's sentiments on Ukraine

In his interview with Swiss Weekly, Victor Orban, the Hungarian leader known to support Putin, said: "If we were not in the EU, we could easily find ourselves in the same situation as Ukraine. From a historical perspective, Ukraine should be in the EU. But at this point in time does it truly belong to Europe? If we do not want to be a second Ukraine, if we do not want a country in the twilight between two worlds," he added that: " Hungary must belong to the EU. It is about our identity. If Hungary were situated between Switzerland and Austria, this question would not be quite as easy to answer. But unfortunately that place is already taken."

  Russia, Ukraine, the world
