Szijjarto accused Ukraine of raising gas prices in Europe

Szijjártó noted that Hungary has diversified its gas sources, so the increase in energy prices in Europe, in general, will not affect the country.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó accused Ukraine of putting the European Union in a difficult economic situation by stopping the transit of Russian gas.

As the head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry said on his Facebook page, “even the most loyal residents of Brussels” cannot deny the fact that the competitiveness of the European Union has recently “fallen sharply.”

He argues that one of the main reasons for this is that “gas prices in Europe have become higher than those of our competitors.”

“The increase in natural gas prices in Europe is mainly caused by the artificial reduction of volumes, such as the elimination of some sources of natural gas due to sanctions or rules, as well as the blocking of several transport routes,” the Hungarian official said.

At the same time, Szijjártó noted that Hungary has diversified its gas sources, so the rise in energy prices in Europe will not, in general, affect the country.

He blamed Ukraine for the fact that the recent stoppage of Russian natural gas transit to Central Europe led to higher prices.

“Since the Ukrainian transit route was completely stopped and irretrievable in mid-December, the price of natural gas on the European market increased by 20%. once again put the European economy in a difficult situation especially it in Central Europe,” he wrote.

Let’s remember that the termination of the transit of Russian gas through the Ukrainian gas transportation system (GTS) did not affect the energy security of European countries or consumer prices in the market, the European Commission said.
