    With this, Hungary is actively participating in a war crime. They have cut emergency electrical power amidst ongoing Russian attacks on Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure. The other EU countries should capture and imprison him, as this constitutes an act of agression against an ally and a violation of human rights. Additionally they broke EU contracts, by lying about agreeing and then blocking it anyway.
