⚡️🇭🇺 Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Friday backed 🇫🇷 French President Emmanuel Macron over his controversial warning against Europe potentially becoming a “vassal” of the 🇺🇸 United States.

The French president, who just returned from China, stood by his comments on Wednesday, saying that being a US ally did not mean being a “vassal”.

“The French president is looking for potential partners and not enemies, which is similar to the Hungarian position: we must start from our own interests, not take into account the interests of others,” Orban said in his weekly radio address.

“It is necessary to think through whether the American foreign policy interests coincide with the European ones,” added Orban.

The pair met last month in Paris where the French president underscored the need for European “unity” on the Ukraine war.

“President Macron is honourable, but he does not imagine the future of Europe in the same way as Hungary,” Orban said, highlighting his belief in a “Christian renaissance”.

⚡️ 🇷🇺 Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu on Friday said the country’s Pacific Fleet had launched surprise combat drills as tensions rage with the West over 🇺🇦 Ukraine.

At a meeting with Russia’s top brass, Shoigu said the Pacific Fleet, headquartered in the port of Vladivostok, was on high alert during snap exercises begun on President Vladimir Putin’s orders.

“The main goal of this exercise is to build up the armed forces’ ability to solve the tasks of repelling the aggression of a potential enemy from the direction of ocean and sea,” Shoigu said.

The aim was “to evaluate the state and increase the readiness of military command, troops and forces to undertake missions on all strategic directions,” Shoigu added.

The head of the Russian navy, Admiral Nikolai Yevmenov is overseeing the drills, Shoigu said.

During the exercises, Russian forces will practice searching and destroying submarines, “repelling large-scale rocket and aviation attacks” and launching rockets, torpedoes and artillery fire against seaborne and ground targets.
