Szijjártó: was the Russian oil delivery ban requested from Brussels?

Hungary and Slovakia called for action by the European Commission last week regarding Ukraine’s decision to restrict crude oil deliveries, the minister of foreign affairs and trade said on Facebook on Tuesday, asking: “Why has the EC not taken any steps for more than a week?”

Szijjártó calls on the European Commission

“Brussels is silent”, even though the measure is putting the energy security of two member states at risk, and is “a crystal clear violation of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement,” Péter Szijjártó said.

Brussels is either too weak to push through the interests of two member states against a membership candidate, “or the whole idea was conceived in Brussels rather than Ukraine, and it is the European Commission, rather than the Ukrainian government, that wants to blackmail two pro-peace countries opposing weapons deliveries,” he said.

Szijjártó said: “The European Commission and personally Ursula von der Leyen must immediately show their true colours: was the oil delivery ban requested from Brussels? If it wasn’t, why has the EC not taken action for over a week?”

  1. Here is a good conspiracy theory: Is Peter secretly undermining Victor so he can take his job? Is Peter not so secretly working for Putin? Is Peter another gay man hiding in the Victor’s closet?

  2. Enemies of Hungary are coming up with all sorts of false scenarios and conspiratory theories. Jose, do you not realize that the longer the war lasts the more Ukrainians will die and more of the infrastructure destroyed. It is time for Russia and Ukraine make peace. Presently, Zelensky’s party lost a lot of support, the Ukrainian people are tired of war.

    Hungary will figure out how to supply its nation with needed energy. Electricity should be utilized more. Hungary’s atomic energy plan will supply cheaper and more energy. Bulgaria offered to increase the oil supply. Oil/gas can be received from Serbia via Turkey.

    Hungarians survived for over 1,000 years and will survive in spite of your snide remarks.

    Hungarians are well educated and resourceful, I am confident that they will do what is necessary to heat Hungarian homes and drive Hungarian cars.

    First, stop supplying electricity to Ukraine. Stop filling up foreign EU transport semis in Hungary.
