PM Orbán: Ukrainians want Hungary to suffer from a fuel shortage
“Ukrainians know very well what they are doing and why: they want Hungary to suffer from a fuel shortage in the weeks preceding the election driving prices up to reach 1,000 forints per litre,” the prime minister said on Facebook on Tuesday.
Ukraine “seeks to topple the government and install a governor favoured by Kyiv,” Viktor Orbán said.
“They won’t succeed. Our reserves are full, we have saved the country from a fuel shortage,” Orb-n said. The Hungarian government has “halted a 90 billion euro war loan to Ukraine” and “will not support any pro-Ukraine decisions in Brussels before President Zelensky returns to reason,” the prime minister added.
“We will not assist to Ukraine’s oil blockade but thwart it. Brussels and Kyiv can take that for granted,” he said.

All Ukraine wants is for Hungary to stop using Russian oil and use other oil. Orban lies when he says Ukraine wants Hungary to suffer from a fuel shortage. Hungarian purchases of Russian oil funds the Russian army which kills Ukrainians and Ukraine needs this to stop. It’s as simple as that and it is not too much to ask when your country is under attack by a barbaric opponent. It is our duty to help our neighbours in their time of greatest need and Fidesz has perverted the Hungarian dialogue with its’ demonizing of Hungary’s neighbours who are victims of barbaric aggression .
This is just the beginning, and much more is to be expected in the near future. I’m opting out because I have no desire to be constantly bombarded with Fidesz’s smear campaigns. I’m familiar with many election campaigns in other countries, but this level of dirt, underhandedness, and mendacity is a European rarity, and Hungary certainly can’t be proud of it. There are very few countries that can compete with Hungary.
“They want Hungary to suffer from a fuel shortage in the weeks preceding the election driving prices up to reach 1,000 forints per litre,” the prime minister said on Facebook on Tuesday.
The truth is:
Oil deliveries via the Druzhba pipeline to Slovakia, which had been interrupted, are scheduled to resume on Wednesday. The Slovak Ministry of Economy reports that the Ukrainian side informed the pipeline operator Transpetrol of the delay.
