Hungarys Orbán Announces Gas Reduction to Ukraine, Citing Russian Oil Delays
Hungarys Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has declared that his country will gradually decrease natural gas supplies to Ukraine, aiming to restart Russian oil deliveries via the Druzhba pipeline. This move comes as Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia has been halted for nearly two months due to damage on the Ukrainian section of the line. Ukraine, which relies heavily on gas flowing through Hungary, has seen its imports decrease from 45% last year to 38% this January. Orbán plans to redirect this gas to boost Hungarys reserves. In response to the oil cutoff, Hungary has blocked a $106 billion EU loan to Ukraine, halted diesel exports, and vetoed new sanctions on Russia. As elections approach in Ukraine, Orbán has intensified his criticism of the country, with tensions remaining high and no immediate resolution in sight.
