It is unclear how the EU can remain competitive after severing ties with Russia, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has warned

Eastern and Western economies were “exceptionally” mutually dependent for decades, but electricity prices in the EU are now reportedly three times higher than in China. 

Speaking at an international conference on Eurasian security in the Belarusian capital Minsk on Thursday, Szijjarto stated that “the success of Western countries is almost impossible to imagine without cooperation with Eastern countries. And the opposite is also true.”
