Orban called the EU's statements about the possibility of abandoning Russia's energy resources nonsense.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called the statements of the European Union (EU) about the possibility of eliminating energy imports from Russia by 2027 nonsense at a press conference on April 28.

"In 2027, the EU wants to completely abandon energy imports from Russia. Complete nonsense! This will only lead to further price increases and to a further decrease in the competitiveness of the potential of European industry," Orban said.

In addition, he also noted that the biggest danger of the EU is if it includes governments that do not have their own opinion.

"We are the ones who say that a different view of these things is needed. Because if we agreed with everything, the EU would not be able to function today," summed up the Hungarian Prime Minister.

Fuel bug: The EU may reconsider its position of rejecting gas from the Russian Federation

The European Commission has already postponed the publication of the roadmap for the final cessation of supplies from Russia.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted on April 23 that Moscow sees that a number of EU countries are ready to buy Russian gas again, and is ready to negotiate on this issue. He stressed that Russia has never politicized the issue of fuel supplies to the EU.

On April 14, the head of the Federation Council's Information policy commission, Alexei Pushkov, said that the EU's boycott of energy supplies from Russia had long since lost its meaning. He noted that the boycott has already led to a lack of economic growth in Germany, the closure of a number of enterprises and serious financial losses for the whole of Europe.
