Nah, the EU is paying in crappy rubles, which gives Russia no benefit. It's probably worth less than what was paid now.Regardless of the size, the money that's going to Russia is the same. In fact, India is buying mostly in rupees and dirhams, whereas the EU is paying in euros, which gives the Russians more benefits. And no, Hungary is not absorbing as much Russian energy as India is. Most of it is going to Western Europe, even France, not just Germany.
Hungary is absorbing more than any other EU country. Hungary, Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Slovakia are absorbing more than the only 4 Western European countries on that list (Italy, Spain, Netherlands and Belgium).

They already are. Russian threats come in two flavours, things they never do and things they were already doing. Another example of the latter was their cluster munitions threat.Then I guess the West should have no problems if the Russians sell their junk to NoKo and Iran.
