Watch: Is Hungary Russia's Trojan Horse In Europe?

• 18 Feb 2021 9:19 AM

Hungary decided to go it alone and approve Chinese and Russian Covid-19 vaccines before Brussels did. The move came at a tense time for EU-Russia relations, with sanctions mooted over the persecution of opposition leader Alexei Navalny​, on top of those still in place due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine​.

But the Hungarian government, accused by Brussels of breaking the bloc's rules by attacking the media and the rule of law, seems to be cosying up to Moscow in a whole range of areas, reports France24 English.
