Thank you Chancellor Scholtz. They really needed that.

Hungary cancels visit by German Foreign Minister Baerbock after Chancellor Olaf Scholz excoriated Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban over his unannounced trip to Moscow.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock was scheduled to meet her Hungarian counterpart in Budapest on Monday for talks, but the Hungarian government canceled the session on Friday evening on short notice to the surprise of the German government, according to an official in Berlin.

Scholz told reporters earlier Friday that Orban had given him no advance notice about his travel plans. “The European Council is represented by Charles Michel in terms of foreign policy — and not Hungary,” Scholz said, referring to the European Council president.
Ukraine can rely on Europe’s support and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine must not succeed, the chancellor added.
