“ Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that at a meeting with US President Donald Trump, he would like to explain why Hungary depends on Russian energy sources. Source: Telex with reference to the statement of the head of the Hungarian government, “European Truth” Details: As Orbán noted, since Hungary is landlocked, Hungary depends on land routes through which energy carriers can enter the country. “And if we don’t adapt to this situation, we won’t have energy carriers,” he said. In his opinion, it is necessary to convey this to the Americans if Hungary wants to get some exemption from the American sanctions against the Russian companies “Rosneft” and “Lukoil”. “Each state has the right to protection at the national level from such a system of sanctions,” added Orbán. The Prime Minister of Hungary previously said that without Russian energy carriers, energy prices in Hungary “will skyrocket” and “we are trying to find a way out, especially for Hungary.” Background: The President of the United States expects a complete refusal of Europe from Russian oil and gas. Recently, he introduced sanctions against the companies “Rosneft” and “Lukoil”. After that, Orbán said that his government was working to circumvent the sanctions. The Hungarian government is trying to convince the US administration that its landlocked status leaves it no choice but to rely on Russian oil. Hungarian officials claim that they cannot solve this problem, despite the existence of an alternative oil pipeline connecting Hungary to the Adriatic Sea through Croatia – as they are reminded of in European capitals.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua
