Details: Szijjártó condemned Ukraine’s decision to halt Lukoil’s oil transit to Hungary, calling it “incomprehensible and unacceptable”.
He stated that Hungary has identified temporary decisions to stabilise supply, but they are unsuitable for the long term, and a “swift resolution” is required.
Szijjártó emphasised that Hungary and Slovakia rely heavily on oil supplies via the Druzhba pipeline, with approximately 2 million tonnes received annually from Lukoil.
Quote: “This decision seriously jeopardises the long-term oil supply security of Hungary and Slovakia,” the Hungarian foreign minister said.
He encouraged Ukraine to respond and stated that he intends to address the matter at a meeting of the EU Council on Foreign Affairs.
“It’s peculiar that an EU-aspiring country is endangering the energy supply of two EU member states, especially in the summer when energy consumption is at its peak,” Szijjártó complains.
On 18 July, Slovakia and Hungary said that they had stopped receiving oil from the Russian Lukoil corporation after Ukraine strengthened sanctions against the corporation.
Ukraine imposed limited sanctions on Russia’s Lukoil in 2018, but those sanctions covered only the withdrawal of Ukrainian capital, restrictions on trade, and a ban on participation in the privatisation or lease of state property in Ukraine.
In June 2024, Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council expanded the sanctions against Lukoil, adding, among other things, a ban on transit of its oil via Ukraine.

“This decision seriously jeopardises the long-term oil supply security of Hungary and Slovakia,” the Hungarian foreign minister said.
Ukraine could say the same about you and Orban helping mafia land in their war against them.
If you want your oil supply returning, I’m sure Ukraine will be willing to restore it if you denounce Putler and his genocidal war.
“It’s peculiar that an EU-aspiring country is endangering the energy supply of two EU member states, especially in the summer when energy consumption is at its peak,” Szijjártó complains.”
Peculiar eh, you retarded fascist fucktard?
Not as peculiar as your piss-ass dictatorship aligning itself with a genocidal nazi regime whilst still taking full advantage of EU/Nato membership?
At this point “fuckem” doesn’t do justice to how I feel. I didn’t believe audacity, arrogance and hypocrisy could reach such high levels. But here is Hungry showing me how wrong I could be.
Support Putin, and you take the consequences. The poor babies raving is just funny.
Cry, babies, cry!
This should’ve happened long ago already. They deserve this every bit because no other EU member is as trashy, evil, and sick as Hungary. I hope their economy will crash due to this, and the EU has a spine and refuses to help them.
