PM Orbán: Ukrainians want Hungary to suffer from a fuel shortage

“Ukrainians know very well what they are doing and why: they want Hungary to suffer from a fuel shortage in the weeks preceding the election driving prices up to reach 1,000 forints per litre,” the prime minister said on Facebook on Tuesday.

Ukraine “seeks to topple the government and install a governor favoured by Kyiv,” Viktor Orbán said.

“They won’t succeed. Our reserves are full, we have saved the country from a fuel shortage,” Orb-n said. The Hungarian government has “halted a 90 billion euro war loan to Ukraine” and “will not support any pro-Ukraine decisions in Brussels before President Zelensky returns to reason,” the prime minister added.

“We will not assist to Ukraine’s oil blockade but thwart it. Brussels and Kyiv can take that for granted,” he said.
