Fidesz: Non-EU Ukraine is threatening the energy security of two EU member states
Tamás Menczer, the Fidesz communications director, said in a video posted on social media on Monday that the only thing those striving for peace can count on is getting blackmailed.
The ruling party Fidesz official said non-EU Ukraine is threatening the energy security of two EU member states, Hungary and Slovakia, notwithstanding the EU association agreement by which Ukraine is bound. The official added that the European Commission, as the guardian of the treaties, should take action to protect member states and ensure countries such as Ukraine uphold the agreement.
Yet Brussels was doing very little about it, and it was even possible that the commission’s president, Ursula von der Leyen, had suggested the oil blockade, he said.
“We’ll use all means at our disposal to defend ourselves,” he said, noting regulatory and legal tools, a consultation procedure, or arbitration as possible avenues.
Menczer also referred to “technical possibilities”, adding that Hungarian oil and gas company MOL “is investigating these”.
He said Hungary had no intention of blackmailing Ukraine. “The contracts and agreements that we enter into are something we want to stick to,” he said. At the same time, he warned that much of the energy that Ukraine receives “passes through Hungary”.
As we wrote earlier, Hungary, Slovakia could restrict electricity supplies to Ukraine, details HERE.

I am totally done with Ukraine. I’ve had my doubt for a while but this is the straw that broke the camel’s back.
AFAIC, Ukraine is a hostile state and must be treated as such.
Close the border, sanctions on its imports, strict visa regime, and not a thin cent in any kind of aid.

Ukraine, a non-EU member state, is committing what could be called a criminal offense by cutting off crude oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia, both EU countries, however the EU is not trying to protect its member states. What’s more, the EU has turned a blind eye to these abuses and failed to do anything about them, which is unthinkable. Since when has the EU become such a corrupt and shameful organisation?
The possibility that Commission President von der Leyen might have proposed an oil blockade is merely speculation. However, given that von der Leyen has recently come under scathing criticism from Polish and German female EU lawmakers, it is not impossible.
In particular, the words of the Polish female member of parliament, “You don’t belong in the chairman’s chair, you belong in prison,” were so striking and symbolic that they make one question von der Leyen’s humanity and even her qualifications as a politician.
Von der Leyen herself needs to reflect on her actions, correct her attitude, and take measures to address this issue.
Furthermore, the current structure and direction of the EU itself, which has become significantly distorted, should also be corrected.
