"Russia has learned lessons since 2014 and not only learned them, but also turned them into actions. They carried out the necessary development of the IT and banking sector, so the Russian financial system did not break down. They have developed the ability to adapt," Orban said in the Romanian city of Baile Tusnad, as broadcast by М1.
Russia, having lost the opportunity to import agricultural products from the West due to sanctions, has become the largest exporter of food products in a few years, the official noted.
"When Russia is described as a rigid neo-Stalinist autocracy, it is a lie. In fact, we are talking about a country that demonstrated technical, economic and, as you can see, maybe social flexibility," Orban said.
The West has called on the whole world to take action against Russia, but, on the contrary, everyone has begun to support it little by little, the prime minister added.
Orban also said that he was not surprised by the support of Russia from China and North Korea, but the position of Iran, India, Turkiye and the Muslim world, which considers Russia a partner, came as a surprise.
