Economy
Hungary has suspended gas supplies to Ukraine, linking their resumption to the restoration of Russian oil flows via the Druzhba pipeline.
The Hungarian government has decided to temporarily halt gas supplies to Ukraine. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said the move will remain in place until Hungary resumes receiving Russian oil through the Druzhba pipeline.
According to Orbán, the decision is aimed at protecting Hungary’s energy security. He also stressed that the government intends to maintain fixed fuel prices and reduced gas tariffs for consumers.
“Until Ukraine supplies oil, it will not receive gas from Hungary,” the prime minister said in a televised address.
The situation highlights ongoing tensions over energy supplies in the region, where transit and resource flows remain central to political and economic relations.
