00:01A political bomb exploded in Brussels.
00:04The reports regarding the Hungarian foreign minister allegedly disclosing to his Russian counterpart
00:12the closed-door ministerial-level discussion in the council are greatly concerning
00:17and we expect the Hungarian government to provide the clarifications.
00:22So what's going on here?
00:23A Washington Post investigation claims Hungarian foreign minister Peter Sjarto
00:29spent years stepping out of confidential EU meetings to directly phone Russian officials.
00:36And one security official stated that Moscow has basically been behind the table of every EU meeting for years.
00:44The European Commission wants answers but orders are not so shocked.
00:48Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk admitted long-standing suspicions
00:53revealing he strictly limits what he says out loud during these talks.
00:57And Budapest is not hiding their connections.
01:01Sjarto has visited Moscow 16 times since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
01:07Meanwhile, Hungary is actively blocking a 90 billion EU loan for Kiev.
01:12In an unexpected burst of honesty, Sjarto admitted calling Russian officials before and after key EU meetings.
01:19He claims he also speaks to American, Turkish and Israeli officials, arguing this is just diplomacy.
01:27However, this is the same minister who was awarded Russia's order of friendship a year before Russia's full-scale invasion
01:35of Ukraine.
01:35And the Americans, Turks and Israelis have not handed him any similar medal.
01:41Perhaps the only thing left to add here is a quote from a movie Naked Gun.
01:46Please disperse! Nothing to see here!
01:50Ha! It's quite funny, but it's just a pity.
01:54All of that is about the future of European security.
01:57Especially since over 70% of Europeans are now highly worried about nearby conflicts,
02:03according to the latest Eurobarometer survey.
02:06So who's laughing now?
02:08So who's laughing now?
02:09So who's laughing now?
02:12So who's laughing now?
