We rightly consider the Paks II project to be the flagship of bilateral relations with Hungary, Russia's ambassador to Budapest said, giving a detailed report on the state of the investment.
He emphasized that it comes as no surprise to him or to the Russian construction company that the West is trying with all its might to prevent Paks II from being built with Russian technology. But as he said, there is also a strong competitive economic component to this, not just political considerations.
"Our Hungarian partners are pragmatically thinking politicians who serve to protect Hungary's own interests in the face of foreign ones. Moreover, this does not only apply to their relations with Moscow - at least it would be presumptuous of us to think so. Budapest also defends its right to sovereignty within the framework of the European Union in the area of illegal migration, the protection of traditional values and the fight against LGBT propaganda."
At the end of the interview, they also touched on the upkeep and maintenance of military graves, which has become a very important topic for Russia at the moment. In this regard, the ambassador expressed his gratitude that Russian soldiers' graves in Hungary are being cared for according to the agreement between the two countries.
