Tusk slams Orban over ‘political sabotage’ of EU aid and sanctions on Russia

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk launched a sharp attack on Hungarian leader Viktor Orban, accusing his government of “political sabotage” for blocking a new EU sanctions package against Russia and a proposed €90 billion loan for Ukraine.
