Hungary sent this message through its foreign minister, he affirmed that he is of the same opinion as Chancellor Olaf Scholz who says that there are many Russians fleeing to Europe because they do not agree with Vladimir Putin's regime, but it remains to be seen what decision will be taken at the level of the entire European Union in the future.
