Ukraine’s ‘campaign of provocative lies’ about Hungary energy acquisitions fails, says FM Szijjártó
Change language:
Ukraine’s “communication campaign of provocative lies” about Hungary’s energy acquisitions has ended in a “disgraceful failure” since the European Union made it clear that Hungary’s long-term gas purchase deal with Russia is fully in line with the law, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Monday.
Szijjártó said on Facebook during the break of a meeting of the Foreign Affairs Council of the European Union that High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell had clearly stated that Hungary had the right to sign such a contract and there is no room for complaint.
Borrell has also communicated his position to Kiev, stressing that Hungary acted lawfully when it signed the contract, he added.
Ukraine has pursued a intense and hostile communication campaign and political campaign involving provocative lies against Hungary, he said. Despite being a non-EU country, Ukraine has submitted a complaint against an EU country to the European Commission, he added.
“Ukraine wanted to thwart secure energy supplies to Hungary,” he said.
FM Szijjártó is doing a great job defending Hungarian interests.
The EU and US are talking about shortage of heating material. Mr. Orban and his Administration should be congratulated, they ensured no one needs to go cold in the country. Well Done!!!
