Szijjarto pointed out that there was no harm to Hungary from Kiev's blackmail

Hungary's energy supply has not been threatened by Ukraine's blackmail, and its oil reserves will last for more than three months. This was announced on February 18 by Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto.

"Neither fuel supplies nor energy supply were under threat, despite political blackmail from Ukraine. We have enough reserves [of fuel] for more than three months, and the decision—making process on the use of some of them has already begun," the Hungarian newspaper Origo quoted Szijjarto as saying.

According to him, fuel supplies to Hungary remain stable due to the measures taken in advance by the government. He also called on the Hungarian population to "speak out against Ukrainian blackmail" and support the decision not to supply diesel to Ukraine.

Not to the service, but to Druzhba: Hungary and Slovakia wanted Russian oil supplies through Croatia

Zagreb makes it clear that this is possible only within the framework of EU and US rules.

On the same day, Szijjarto announced that Hungary had stopped the supply of diesel fuel to Ukraine until the oil supply through the Druzhba pipeline was resumed.

On February 13, the minister announced that Ukraine had blocked oil supplies from Russia via the Druzhba pipeline to Hungary in order to complicate the situation of the Hungarian government before the parliamentary elections. At the same time, the pipeline, according to him, is technically fully operational and ready for the resumption of supplies.

Later, on February 18, Szijjarto announced that the Hungarian oil and gas company MOL had signed the first contracts for the supply of Russian oil by sea through Croatia. He specified that the raw materials will be delivered to the Croatian port in early March.
