Viktor Orbán: Ukraine imposes oil blockade on Hungary, but Budapest will break the blockade
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that Ukraine is implementing an oil blockade to overthrow the Hungarian government, but Budapest will break this blockade.
Orbán wrote on Facebook: "The Ukrainians fully know what they are doing and their purpose. They want to create fuel shortages and surge gasoline prices to 1000 forints in the weeks before the election. They do this to overthrow our government and install an agent favorable to Kyiv... We will not assist Ukraine's oil blockade, but we will break it. Brussels and Kyiv should be certain of this."
Hungary stopped supplying diesel to Ukraine on February 18 and on February 20 blocked the EU's provision of a 90 billion euro loan to Kyiv until Russian oil via the "Friendship" pipeline resumes. Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said the move was a response to Kyiv's extortion, which refused to resume Russian oil transit for political reasons, trying to create an energy crisis in Hungary to influence the April election.
