Russia will readily consider Hungary’s request for further gas purchases, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said after talks with Péter Szijjártó, Hungary’s minister of foreign affairs and trade, in Moscow on Thursday.
“The implementation of the long-term agreements on Russian natural gas exports signed last year is fully in line with our countries’ interests,” Lavrov said. “Our colleagues informed us today that the Hungarian government has expressed interest in making further gas purchases this year.”
“We will report on this request and look into it without delay,” Lavrov said.

To be in Europe or not to be in Europe? That is the question.And…Did they only speak about gas purchases?
Nothing to do with Russia’s consideration of Hungary’s request for more Russian gas, but I tell you what, Lavrov is even BETTER, and BIGGER, at lying than his master. He is very able to manipulate his body language when he is lying – unlike his master.
If there is anyone Putin should be wary of (to stab him in the back if the Russian people were to ever revolt), it’s Lavrov.
