Show Notes

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is advocating for the EU to lift sanctions on Russian fossil fuels, blaming energy price spikes on the Middle East conflict. Orban, who has resisted EU moves to cut Russian energy imports, recently vetoed new sanctions and blocked a $100 billion EU loan to Ukraine. Tensions with Ukraine escalated when oil flows through the Druzhba pipeline stopped, with both sides accusing each other of blocking supplies. Orban claims Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is manipulating an energy crisis to sway voters ahead of Aprils election, while Ukraine denies any wrongdoing. Hungarys recent detention of Ukrainian bank workers and seizure of cash and gold further strained relations.
