FM Szijjártó: Lack of action on Lukoil matter shows EC’s true colours
The European Commission’s lack of action on the matter of Ukraine’s stoppage of transit deliveries of Russian crude from Lukoil bound for Hungary and Slovakia suggests Brussels instructed Kyiv to take the step, the foreign minister said on Saturday.
EU not to help Hungary and Slovakia with Lukoil problems
“I think the fact that the EC has declared that it is unwilling to help with regard to Hungary and Slovakia’s secure energy supply supports the assumption that Brussels instructed Kyiv to create a problem for the energy supply of Hungary and Slovakia,” Péter Szijjártó said at an event in Tihany, on Lake Balaton, after the EC said it would not mediate for Budapest and Bratislava.
“Even though Brussels’ self-destructive policies have substantially weakened the European Union in recent years, it should not be so weak that it cannot protect the interests of two member states from the lark of a candidate country,” he added.
Szijjártó said a solution to ensuring deliveries of Russian crude to Hungary and Slovakia was “very close” and an announcement would be made when the negotiations finished and the papers were signed.
He added that the EC’s failure to act on the matter was “shameful” and showed the EU executive’s “true colours”.

There will be no fuel crisis whatsoever in Hungary as a result of Ukraine’s sanctioning of supplies from Lukoil. Oil is being supplied through the pipeline through other suppliers. Szijjarto and the rest of Fidesz are making a propaganda campaign out of this. They likely have some corrupt deal with Lukoil that they now can’t cash in on. They should instead thank Ukraine for allowing through their country any oil whatsoever that comes from the Russian barbaric invaders. Ukraine should cut it off completely.
And what the colors of hubgary are? Selfishness, corruption and arrogance
Larrry and Jose, you must explain why you have the country and the people so much. There is nothing wrong in making deals with oil companies to ensure oil supply.
In your stance, I would be more concerned about von der Leyen’s love affair with Zelensky. It is a very expensive farce. Furthermore, Ukraine is not an EU member, therefore are not entitled to monetary or weapon support.
The EU’s lack of action against Ukraine’s oil stoppage clearly shows where EU support lies. It is time for Hungary to cut off the 42% electrical supply to Ukraine and the 10% diesel. Time for Zelensky to taste his own medicine. Let von der Leyen’s Germany pick up the slack.
