German analysis: without Hungary’s help, Ukraine’s military would be paralyzed
Change language:
Ukrainian armoured vehicles and tanks can only function and carry out attacks against the Russian invaders because they receive sufficient Hungarian and Turkish fuel. Interestingly, the raw material for the product comes from Russia and fuel is produced in Hungarian and Turkish refineries. Without that help, Ukraine’s army would not be able to move, a German analysis has stated recently.
According to index.hu, Ukraine’s military potential depends greatly on Hungarian fuel import. Based on an analysis of the German Handelsblatt, Ukraine only has one operating refinery in Kremencuk. However, that can only make 30 percent of the country’s fuel consumption. There are five more refineries in Ukraine, but none of them were operational even before the start of the Russian invasion. Furthermore, the Russian military hit the Kremencuk facility last April, so it often malfunctions.
Therefore, Ukrainians are in a challenging situation since they need import to move their tanks and armoured vehicles. Handelsblatt used the data of the Ukrainian customs agency. They said that Hungarian and Turkish diesel export guarantees the Ukrainian army’s undisturbed operation.
Meanwhile, both countries receive the raw material from Russia, so Ukrainians operate their army with Russian oil. One of the biggest helpers is Hungary’s MOL, which doubled its export to Ukraine in the last six months.
If Hungary is serious about stopping the Ukraine/Russia war, Hungary should stop exporting fuel to Ukraine.
So, it is Hungary who will be blamed that the war is continuing. Without them, the Ukraine soldiers would fight with sticks and stones?
Great to hear that Hungary is after all fighting alonside Ukraine for their freedom against the bloodthirsty tyranny. Keep that fuel flowing, Russian army must be beaten.
So again, Orbán and his friends are playing a game with the Hungarian people. Exporting cheap fuel to Ukraine and rising fuel prices in Hungary. The exemption was reached to benefit the Hungarians, not MOL and its shareholders.
Talking about peace, but in the meantime exporting fuel.
When do Hungarians finally wake up.
It is time for the government to answer what exactly is going on?
