PM Orbán’s latest offer to Zelensky: EU money for Russian crude – here’s Ukraine’s answer
If Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wants his money from Brussels, he must reopen the Druzhba pipeline, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in a video on Facebook on Tuesday, adding: “if there is no oil, there is no money.” Zelensky made an important promise to the EU yesterday concerning the pipeline.
Orbán’s offer: Russian oil for EU money
Orbán said he had just coordinated with the president of the European Council and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico over Ukraine’s oil blockade. Hungary’s stance, he said, remained “unchanged”: “If President Zelensky wants to receive his money from Brussels, then he must reopen the Druzhba oil pipeline.” Orbán said Ukraine had refused expert talks last week and was “openly admitting” it would not allow cheap Russian oil to reach Hungary.
“It seems to me that they are using the entire oil blockade to intervene in the Hungarian elections in support of the Tisza Party,” he said. “That is why the situation is extremely simple: if there is no oil, there is no money.”
‘Time to stop this political theatre and reopen the Druzhba pipeline today’, FM Szijjártó says
Péter Szijjártó, the minister of foreign affairs and trade, on Tuesday called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to “stop this political threatre” and immediately restore oil flows through the Druzhba pipeline.
Responding to von der Leyen’s post on X, hailing Brussels’ “sudden awakening” to Ukraine’s oil blockade of Hungary and Slovakia, Szijjarto said it had taken the EC “nearly 50 days to notice” the situation, adding that “this is a coordinated political move.”
“Every step was coordinated between Kyiv and Brussels,” he said, according to a ministry statement, insisting that joint decisions had been made at the Munich Security Conference and pre-election briefings had been given to the opposition Tisza Party, which, he said, stood to gain from an engineered energy crisis. “They knew full well that an oil blockade could trigger a supply crisis, and that this would help the Tisza Party in the parliamentary election,” he said.
Major backfire and egg on the faces of the Ukraine and Brussels menions, ‘No flow.. no pay’ amazing how money talks and bullshit walks.. 6 weeks until oil flow.. interesting timing !!!!

That’s not diplomacy. It’s extortion with a press release.
People are taking note. What goes around, comes around.
And again – no word from our Politicians as to WHY energy costs are rising, rapidly. “Peace!” “No War!”. Couldn’t possibly have anything to do with a world war, developing in the Middle East? #callyourfriends #warmongers
Did you forget already, who started all this?
Wow, that’s a small memory.
Where has Orban’s guardian angel gone? People are looking here, people are looking there, Orban is looking for him everywhere.
How can you be so dense to think this hurts Orbán?
A foreign enemy always helps to solidify the leader’s position.
