Hungary blocks EU sanctions package over halted Ukrainian oil deliveries

Hungary will block the adoption of the European Union’s 20th sanctions package until Ukraine resumes crude oil deliveries to the country, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó announced following a meeting of the Energy Security Council in Budapest.
According to the minister, Ukraine decided this week not to restart oil shipments towards Hungary, a move he described as “clear political blackmail”.
Budapest ties support for new sanctions to energy security
Szijjártó argued that the suspension was aimed at creating both fuel shortages and sharply higher prices in Hungary ahead of parliamentary elections. He claimed Kyiv hoped to push for a more Ukraine-friendly government in Budapest.
“We made it clear that as long as oil deliveries are not resumed, we will block decisions that are important for Ukraine,” he said.
As a result, Hungary plans to veto the sanctions package at the upcoming meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.

Government releases reserves and halts diesel exports
To avoid supply disruptions, the government has released part of Hungary’s strategic oil reserves and begun sourcing replacement shipments by sea, which are already on their way.






Orban got his orders from Putin as he always does. He is Russia’s main stooge and works tirelessly to undermine Europe and promote Russia. If he had his way the Russians would be occupying all of Eastern Europe. Hungarians have their chance on April 12th to decide whether they wish to be a Russian puppet state or be a European nation. Should Fidesz win that election my advice to young people is to emigrate because there is no future for you under the new Kadar.
The plot of your fictional drama is really intriguing.
When you publish it in a book format, I’ll buy it. 😉
But, Márk, as well informed, as you are, I am absolutely shocked that you seem not to know that everyone opposed to Bruxelles is marching on V. Putin’s orders…

‘Hungarians have their chance on April 12th to decide whether they wish to be a Russian puppet state or be a European nation.’
If that is choice, Dear Larry – life with Modern Russia will at least allow Hungarians to afford heat and allow their women to walk in peace on the sidewalks – without fear of being raped in broad daylight.
I used to hear this bullshit from someone called Stiener, but AI Mouton you are learning quite well :DDDDD
Nice.
‘Hungary blocks EU sanctions package over halted Ukrainian oil deliveries…’
Oh well – there goes Zelensky’s 2nd mansion in Florida!
Poor guy!
A bunch of nonsense posts from Mark and Mouton as usual. Mouton who claimed to be American now says how wonderful Russia is. For many women it has not been safe in Russia. A Few Opponents Murdered By Putin’s Mafia Regime: Anna Politkovskaya (2006), Aleksandr Litvinenko (2006), Natalya Estemirova (2009), Sergei Magnitsky (2009), Boris Nemtsov (2015), Alexei Navalny (2024), and of course Yevgeny Prigozhin in 2023. Putin didn’t mind killing nine other people on that plane that he took down to kill Prigozhin. This is the wonderful ally of Fidesz. A mafia state that kills eveyone who could possibly be an opponent. Wake up Hungary.
And Russia isn’t Fidesz’s only ally, because if Russia supports another country, Fidesz logically supports that country as well.
Iranian representatives in December signed a secret agreement in Moscow with the Russian side on the purchase of portable anti-aircraft missile systems “Verba” for about €500 million, according to Financial Times citing leaked Russian documents and sources familiar with the details of the deal.
According to the contract, Russian state company Rosoboronexport is to supply Iran with 500 Verba MANPAD launchers and 2,500 9M336 missiles between 2027 and 2029. The documents specify the cost of one missile at €170,000 and a launcher at €40,000. The total value of the contract is €495 million.
“Verba” is a portable anti-aircraft missile system of the latest generation. It is equipped with a 9M336 missile with a three-spectral infrared homing head, which increases resistance to heat traps and interference. The complex is designed to engage low-flying targets – airplanes, helicopters, cruise missiles and drones. It is launched from a portable unit that can be carried on the shoulder, and can be used by mobile units without deploying fixed radar facilities.
The United States is ready to hold another round of talks with Iran if Tehran submits a detailed proposal within 48 hours. This is reported by Axios yesterday.
So what are Orban’s declarations of love for the US and Israel worth then? The inconsistency of Fidesz is truly breathtaking.
Meanwhile, the following is happening:
Investors Are Fleeing the US for Europe. But the main target isn’t Hungary, but rather Germany and other European countries that are significantly increasing their defense spending. A shift in investment priorities and signs of a slowdown in the U.S. economy are forming a new trend in global capital markets. As The Financial Times reports, international investors are actively transferring funds from the U.S. market to European assets.
The publication estimates that already in the first half of February, the weekly inflow of investments in European stocks reached about $10 billion. If the dynamics continues, the month may set an absolute record for investments in European stock markets.
