(ANSA) - BELGRADE, NOV 18 - If Europe continues to impose sanctions on Russia, "we will be drawn deeper and deeper into this conflict, and the threat we face will become more and more powerful," Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said today.

Orban stated that "we are trying to restrain them, to keep them from doing this; we are speaking the language of peace, we want a ceasefire, we want peace, but almost nobody else is following this line." (ANSA).
