Hungary has been the one country in the European Union that has been most against all of the anti-Russia insanity. Looks like this might result in them leaving the bloc.

Hungary’ stance on Russia and the conflict in Ukraine could potentially see it exiting the EU, the Czech European affairs minister has warned.
The EU is “a unity of many voices” that always finds common ground despite any disputes, Mikulas Bek told Cesky Rozhlas Plus radio on Thursday.
“Negotiations are often tough in the EU, and many countries could engage in them. But Hungary, in my opinion, has come a long way, reaching the edge an abyss, and now it has to decide whether to go back from that edge or risk a jump, the consequences of which I don’t even want to speculate on,” the minister said.
On the prospects of Budapest leaving the EU altogether, Bek said it’s theoretically possible.
Hungary and many other eastern European countries joined the EU simply because it was to their economic benefit to do so. Now, this membership is not of any economic benefit. In fact, it has become a net negative.
It is very possible that Hungary could be the first of several countries that leave the bloc in order to reestablish friendly relations with Russia. They like all other European countries need Russian energy in order to function normally.
It will be interesting to see if Hungary gets kicked out of the EU or if they leave voluntarily.
