Thousands of Ukrainian refugees could be forced on to the streets or back to Ukraine.

A new law has come into force in Hungary which threatens to push thousands of Ukrainian refugees on to the streets or back to Ukraine.

The regulation restricts state support for Ukrainians to those who come from parts of Ukraine directly affected by the fighting caused by Russia’s invasion.

      That sounds appealing, but is that what the Kremlin wants?

        Russia doesn’t need Hungary specifically, Russia needs someone in the Eu, to destroy from inside, and give internal info and passports.

        If there would be a way to kick Hungary out, most of its current support would go to some other country, nowadays Slovakia has a Russian friendly government, between 2017 and 2021 Czechia had a definitely not Russia spy as prime minister and a lot of other countries has more or less successful far right parties with russian ties. There are a lot other options, not as convenient as the Hungarian messed up captured state, but still an acceptable replacement

          Yeah, it certainly does not. It’s their most valuable asset in the EU 🤷

          Divide and conquer. They see the EU as an enemy, so they try to weaken it.

          I think its worth considering the possibility.
