Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán predicted the European Union would “fall apart on its own” due to "leadership chaos" and said Brussels aimed to cut Hungary off from Russian energy supplies during a press conference.

Orbán rejected the possibility of Hungary leaving the EU, saying the country lacked the size to make such a decision sensible. However, he stressed Hungary`s future lay within the bloc and NATO but with "a sovereign foreign policy and economic policy".

"EU membership is an important opportunity, but if we were to get stuck in this single bloc, we would drink the juice. It makes sense to have the best possible relations with all blocs, including America, Russia, China, the Arab world and the Turkish world", - said Orban.

On energy policy, he said Brussels aimed to cut Hungary off from Russian oil and gas supplies.
