And we maintained the communication and cooperation even with the Russians. So connectivity is the word, not blocking. The European Union tried to build a block instead of running a strategy based on connectivity and do a common sense-based business with everybody who can provide something good for the European Union.

You know, Hungary, just to the audience, Hungary is dominated by always three major powers. One, Germany, I mean, Berlin, then Moscow, and Istanbul. So we are living just in the middle of that. Each of them occupied at least once. Russian street, you know? So that's the menu card, what you have if you are living in that peculiar part of the European Union. Sounds like a lot of fun.

The strategical reason of this war is called enlargement of NATO. So the question is whether we would like to enlarge NATO or not. If we would like to enlarge NATO, the Russians will never accept it.
