Hungary's Foreign Minister, Peter Szijjarto, announced that his country will not give up on purchasing oil from Russia, arguing that, due to its geographical position, it has no viable alternatives.

In the context of the meeting between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, Hungary reaffirmed that it will not give up on imports of Russian oil, highlighting its geographical difficulties. Szijjarto explained that, without access to the sea, refining alternatives are limited. Although the European Union is considering stricter sanctions, Hungary and Slovakia have blocked initiatives that would affect their energy security. Critics accuse Orban's government of not diversifying energy sources, preferring Russian oil.
