Ursula von der Leyen should answer if Ukraine asks for a ban on oil transit, Peter Szijjarto is convinced.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó accused the European Commission (EC) of organizing the stoppage of Russian oil supplies through the territory of Ukraine. AP reports this in connection with his remarks.
The European Commission allegedly “did nothing a week later” after Budapest and Bratislava approached it with a request to intervene in the oil dispute.
“Despite the threat to the energy security of the two EU member states… Brussels remains silent… The whole thing was invented not in Kyiv, but in Brussels, and not by the Ukrainian government, but wanted by the European Commission to blackmail two peace-loving countries that refused to give up arms,” he wrote.
The Hungarian minister said Ursula von der Leyen should report to Budapest if Brussels asked Kyiv to ban oil transit.
“The European Commission and President Ursula von der Leyen should personally say: did Brussels ask Kyiv to ban oil supplies, then why the European Commission did not take any measures for more than a week?”
In retrospect, Orban’s chief of staff Gergely Gulyas said blocking LUKOIL supplies could lead to fuel shortages, but insisted there was “no reason to panic” as there were still reserves Hungary.
As is known, Hungary said it was facing a fuel crisis after Ukraine introduced a partial ban on the transit of Russian oil through its territory.
