Details
According to Orbán, the Ukrainians allegedly "imposed an oil embargo against Hungary, and Budapest is working to avoid it."
We cannot agree with the Ukrainians because they are blackmailing us and want to force us. And we want to show that Hungary cannot be blackmailed or forced. Ukraine cannot bargain and violate its obligations under the agreement concluded with the EU. I will use all means to break this oil blockade.
He added that this refers to financial means.
Meanwhile, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico threatened to block a 90 billion euro loan to Ukraine from the EU. The corresponding statement was posted on Fico's page on the social network "X".
I express full solidarity with the Prime Minister of Hungary. If the Ukrainian president continues in this vein, it may happen that other EU member states will also block the 90-billion loan for Ukraine

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated that his country will stop the transit of supplies vital for Ukraine. This will continue until the "Druzhba" oil pipeline is launched.
