Hungarian Foreign Minister accuses Poland of “hypocrisy and secret trade with Russia worth billions of euros”
Kyiv • UNN
Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó emphasized the importance of energy security and continued cooperation with Russia. He criticized the EU's response to the Nord Stream explosion and accused Poland of hypocrisy regarding trade with Russia.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto emphasized the importance of ensuring national security in the energy sector and stressed that Hungary continues to cooperate with Russia, in particular in the issue of oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia. The diplomat wrote about this on the X platform, UNN reports .

In his statement, Sijjarto also sharply criticized the European Union's response to the explosion at the Nord Stream pipeline, calling it an act of “state terrorism” if it turns out that a state was involved. The minister emphasized that the EU's response should be proportional to the seriousness of the attack.
Speaking about economic security, Szijjarto accused some countries, including Poland, of hypocrisy for their secret cooperation with Russia, while publicly criticizing other states for similar actions. According to him, last year Poland's trade with Russia amounted to six billion euros, including significant purchases of Russian fertilizers and sales of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
“Our Polish brothers are quietly doing the same thing, so they shouldn't criticize us for speaking openly and honestly about it,” Minister Siyarto said.
This statement caused a wide resonance in the EU, especially against the backdrop of complicated relations between Russia and the EU countries.
