Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán claimed that Ukraine has allegedly been blackmailing Hungary for 19 days over oil supplies via the Druzhba pipeline and called on Hungarians to respond by participating in the Peace Marches, APA reports.
"President Zelenskyy continues to keep the oil pipeline closed, even though he knows it is vital for Hungary and Slovakia. Our experts have been in Kyiv for several days now, but they still haven’t been allowed access to the pipeline," Orban said in his video message.
He also stated that the world is currently unable to overcome the oil crisis caused by the conflict in the Middle East.
According to Orbán, cheap Russian oil could solve the problem, but the European Union continues to reject this option.
The Hungarian prime minister emphasized that despite the difficult situation on the energy market, Brussels is not changing its stance on restricting imports of Russian energy resources.
"The Americans have already taken action and begun lifting sanctions. But in Brussels, the hysteria continues. The European Commission and the German chancellor are maintaining restrictions on Russian oil," he said.
Orbán also spoke about the Peace March scheduled for Sunday, urging everyone to take part in it.
"Tomorrow is the Peace March. I ask everyone to join us. Let’s stand up against the blackmailing of Ukraine. Hungary will not be a Ukrainian colony; Zelenskyy will not be in charge here," Orbán declared.
