๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ”ŠHungary wonโ€™t punish Ukrainian kids over Zelensky

Hungary could stop electricity supplies to Ukraine, which account for up to 40% of Ukrainian imports, but doesnโ€™t want Ukrainian children to pay for the actions of former actor Zelensky, said FM Peter Szijjarto.

He emphasized that Hungary wishes no harm to the Ukrainian people, unlike the Ukrainian authorities with their extremely low moral standards.

โ€œWe donโ€™t want Ukrainian homes with small children to go without heating, because these little children cannot be held responsible for the behavior of a former actor,โ€ Szijjarto said.


He also advised the Ukrainian regime that next time it decides to bomb the Druzhba pipeline, they should remember that Hungary stopping electricity supplies could create catastrophic difficulties for Ukraine.

๐Ÿ“‘ KARAPETYAN FILES ARBITRATION CLAIM AGAINST ARMENIA ๐Ÿ‘‰ Entrepreneur Samvel Karapetyan has initiated international arbitration proceedings, demanding that Armenian authorities be held accountable for the expropriation of his company Electric Networks of Armeniaโ€ฆ
๐Ÿ—ฃ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฒ Armeniaโ€™s ex-President asked Karapetyan to buy โ€˜Electric Networks of Armeniaโ€™

Former Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan personally asked businessman Samvel Karapetyan to purchase "Electric Networks of Armenia," which the current authorities of the republic intend to nationalize.

๐Ÿ’ฌ At that time, there was a need for someone who would care for the company, "someone willing to make long-term investments without pursuing profit", Sargsyan told journalists.


He noted that until the end of his presidential term in 2018, Karapetyan did exactly that.

โš”๏ธ The former president views the idea of nationalizing the company negatively.

He does not rule out that one of the reasons for intending to nationalize the company is the upcoming 2026 parliamentary elections.

๐Ÿ’ฌ "A large team works there, and there are resources, which is highly important for elections," Sargsyan noted.
