Orbán is not blackmailed with energy prices, HU already pays high prices, he voluntarily helps Putin hoping benefits for HU from a RU victory.

New Russian blocks for the Paks NPP in HU are cornerstones of #Orban's energy plans. But can they still be constructed with war and the EU sanctions? It's rather a costy dead end still forced by the HU gov't. @BBC's @nickthorpe report with my contribution.
