Szijjarto: Realities must be taken into consideration when making responses

A clear standpoint must be represented in respect of the war in Ukraine, but realities must be taken into consideration when making responses, as energy shortages can cause serious economic damage, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Thursday. Szijjarto told a meeting of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in Paris that preparations should be made for a difficult economic situation as a result of Russia's aggression in Ukraine, the ministry said.
