Orbán: Russian gas, oil still flowing into Hungary

energy European Union Hungarian government Hungary Ukraine Viktor Orbán

Gas and oil are still flowing into Hungary, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Friday, adding that “common sense” had prevailed in Brussels.

In a video posted on his Facebook page during the latest special EU summit, Orbán said several countries had reiterated a proposal to broaden sanctions to include energy, coal, gas and oil. “And the president of Ukraine himself, participating via video link, also made this request.”

“We considered and then rejected it,” the prime minister said, explaining that the Hungarian economy would grind to a halt if it acceded to the request.

Doing so would compromise the interests of Hungarians and would mean their paying the price of the war,

he said.

Hungary was not alone with its position, he said. “Several other countries made similar arguments, so common sense was successfully asserted, and gas and oil will continue to flow into Hungary.”

    Russian money is probably also still flowing into Hungary, even if in Russian Rubles. The pockets they go into are not fussy about what currency they are lined with.

    Hungary is on the right track, assure of energy, and will not be fooled by the non thinkers of the EU that has spat out wide spread sanctions against Russia, that same EU will now suffer the consequences of the energy supply as it has to settle are going to be in Russian rubles which are only available at the Russian central Bank.

    I fully support Russia with her special military operation. Mr Putin is looking after her borders and Hungary is doing the same.
