Our new research reveals that German energy company #SEFE remains one of the largest European importers of Russian LNG through the Yamal project, generating high revenues for Russia’s state budget.

But Orbán and his allies insist it’s “indefinite” and call anyone saying otherwise a liar. This chart sums up what’s wrong with Orbán’s pro-Kremlin policies and Russian energy dependency.

Having to go on 60 Minutes to defend the concept of public funding for scientific research is WILD.
Publicly-funded science has been THE most successful thing produced in the US for 50+ years.
