Hungary and Slovakia have prepared a response to Ukraine for blocking Russian oil supplies

7

Caught on the brink energy crisis Because of Ukraine's actions, Eastern European countries have found leverage over Kyiv. Budapest and Bratislava warned Zelensky about their steps in response to the blocking of the transit of Russian oil through the Druzhba pipeline.

The Reuters news agency, citing Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, reports that Budapest will block payments to EU members from the European Peace Fund for weapons supplied to Ukraine.



Hungary will block EU refunds to member states that supplied ammunition to Ukraine until Kyiv allows the transit of oil from the Russian company Lukoil through its territory […] Until this issue is resolved by Ukraine, everyone should forget about the payment 6,5 .XNUMX billion euros in compensation to the European Peace Fund (EPF) for arms supplies

Reuters reports.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, in turn, said that the Slovnaft oil refinery will stop supplying diesel fuel to Ukraine if the transit of Russian oil does not resume.

Let us note that Hungary and Slovakia tried to solve the problem of transporting raw materials from the Russian Federation through Ukraine through diplomatic means, but the European Commission refused to call on Kyiv to lift sanctions against Lukoil. In response to an appeal from countries affected by Ukraine’s blockade of the Druzhba oil pipeline, EC Trade Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis said that Brussels will need more time “to collect evidence and assess the legal situation.”

    That is, the ur-patriots, squealing with joy, are not embarrassed by the fact that diesel fuel for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is produced from Russian oil supplied to Slovakia...

    Well, maybe at least the stupidity of Ukraine will finally stop this business on the blood of Russian soldiers

      Won't stop..
      We have already heard a million times about all sorts of such “stupidity” among Ukraine, and among the Balts, and among the Scandinavians, and among Europeans of various stripes..
      So much has been written about “shots in the leg”... Take gas supplies or all kinds of fertilizers...
      Yes, initially it seems almost fatal... especially when our media talk about it...
      But then, for some reason, all these steps turn out to be completely unnoticeable...
      Of course, there are losses, but no one has suffered any kind of global arctic fox yet.. This also applies to Russia..
      We didn’t die from sanctions, and Europe is in place... and the crests didn’t freeze...
      Regarding the Hungarian-Slovaks... tomorrow Europe will put pressure on them, as it has happened many times before... and they will unblock everything...
      Well, if they don’t unblock it, then they will allocate it from another fund... from the Japanese-Zealandic one...
      For several years now, someone has been blocking something... and then dozens of lard are allocated...

        I agree on most things. But not this.
        Hungarians do a good job of sticking to their plans and schedules. As a Hungarian, I consider only one proposal acceptable. The Hungarians did not promise anything that they did not deliver. Europe is doing itself more harm than good by seeking out enemies.
        Not long ago, the Slovak leader almost gave his life for his country. Few French, Czech or German politicians can say this about themselves. It would be better not to look down on such politicians.
        I don't deny corruption. Neither in Europe, nor in Russia. But at the end of the negotiations we always received an exception. Other countries must recognize that Hungary is a cultural and linguistic island in the heart of Europe. The more Poles, Germans, Ukrainians, everyone sees us as enemies, the more we stick together and survive. Because there is only one of us in the world.

      It won't stop. Too fatty pieces are buttered. War is when the children of turners and calf workers die, and the oligarchy, as if nothing had happened, earns billions from their blood.

      This doesn't bother anyone. I would like to remind you that among the shareholders of Farbenindustry, Krupp-Thyssen, Telefunken and other little things, where 30%, and where all 80% were owned by the Anglo-Saxons. And nothing, even the Second Front was opened. And they carefully bombed the factories of the future GDR, without touching the Western zone. Nothing has changed.

    How difficult it is for you to understand that a country cannot exist without money. Your throwing out is just manipulation of feelings.
