The President of Iran met with Putin in Turkmenistan after condemning the aggression of Russian against Ukraine

What Putin and Pezeshkian talked about

On October 11, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin arrived on an official visit to Turkmenistan, where he already had time to meet with the new president of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian. As you know, Tehran is one of the largest suppliers of attack drones, missiles and other weapons for the Russian Federation's war against Ukraine.

Points of attention

  • Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian condemned Russia's war against Ukraine, but this did not prevent him from meeting with Putin.
  • Putin and Pezeshkian discussed bilateral issues and the sharp escalation of the situation in the Middle East.
  • The newly elected president of Iran categorically denies providing missiles to Russia for the war against Ukraine.

What Putin and Pezeshkian talked about

We actively work together in the international arena and our assessments of events in the world are often very close, said the illegitimate head of the Kremlin during a meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.

As for the latter's statements, he began to publicly demand that Israel cease hostilities in the Middle East.

The politician cynically lied that it was Tel Aviv that violated "all possible international agreements".

What is important to understand is the first meeting between the Russian dictator Putin and the newly elected president of Iran.

As Yury Ushakov, an assistant to the illegitimate head of the Kremlin, said recently, the parties will discuss bilateral issues, as well as the sharp aggravation of the situation in the Middle East.

The new president of Iran condemned Russia's war against Ukraine

Back in September, the newly elected president of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, began to claim that he had negotiated with the West regarding Russia's war against Ukraine.

Moreover, the head of state categorically denies providing missiles to Moscow, which he condemned for "aggression" during the war.

He made this statement during his participation in the UN General Assembly in New York.

We are ready to sit down with Europeans and Americans for dialogue and negotiations. We have never approved of Russian aggression against Ukrainian territory, Pezeshkiyan said.

What is important to understand is that the US recently accused Iran of transferring ballistic missiles to Russia for the war in Ukraine, Tehran denies these accusations.

Orban began blackmailing Ukraine and the EU over Russian gas

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is threatening to veto sanctions against Russia in 6 months if Ukraine does not resume the transit of Russian gas by then.

Points of attention

  • Hungary demands that the EU put pressure on Ukraine to preserve the transit of Russian gas.
  • Official Brussels is not giving in to blackmail from Orban's team.
  • The Hungarian leader threatens Kyiv with revenge over the decision to stop gas transit.

Orban continues to promote Putin's interests

The pro-Russian politician began to claim that official Budapest had recently received a guarantee from the European Union to resume the transit of Russian gas through Ukrainian territory.

If the promise is broken, we will not only propose to end the sanctions, but we will end them.

What is important to understand is that on January 27, official Brussels was able to "press" Hungary and approve the continuation of economic sanctions against Russia, but with a concession to Budapest.

The parties reached the conclusion to adopt a statement with assurances from Hungary about its energy security.

It is worth noting that Viktor Orban's team demands that the European Union put pressure on Ukraine to preserve the transit of Russian oil, but the bloc is not succumbing to this blackmail.

Orban threatens Kyiv with revenge

According to Putin's henchman, the Hungarian authorities may take measures in response to Kyiv's decision to stop the transit of Russian gas.

Viktor Orban laments that Ukraine has not only stopped gas transit through its territory, but is also allegedly refusing to negotiate, while its decision threatens Hungary, Slovakia, and the entire region.

Kyiv is no longer in the saddle so securely to afford this. If they remain aggressive and hostile, they will lose. We will eventually get angry and fight back.

The Hungarian leader has again stated that he opposes Ukraine's rapid membership in the European Union — because it would ruin the Hungarian economy — and NATO, because it would lead to the Alliance's war with Russia.
