Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has stated that Budapest has no intention of compromising on the resumption of Russian oil transit via the Druzhba pipeline.

He announced this on social media, posting a video with his statement.

In his address, Orbán stated that Hungary will “break through the Ukrainian oil blockade by force.”

“There will be no deals, no compromises. We will break through the Ukrainian oil blockade by force,” the Hungarian prime minister said.

According to him, energy supplies to Hungary should soon resume via the Druzhba pipeline.

“Hungarian energy will soon flow again through the Druzhba pipeline,” Orbán claimed.

The Hungarian prime minister also criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s position on the transit of Russian oil. He said that Budapest would not support European Union decisions that would benefit Ukraine until the transit situation changed.

Amid this statement, Hungary continues negotiations with Russia on energy supplies, in particular through the Druzhba pipeline.

Ahead of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s statements, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó visited Moscow for talks on energy supplies.

Orbán recently acknowledged the incursion of Hungarian drones into Ukraine.

  1. This reeks of desperation. His party has recently lost a couple more percentage points. He knows that his chances for winning the upcoming election are the same as the proverbial ice cube surviving in hell. So, what does he do? He makes a bigger, fatter fool of himself by this childish threat. Ukraine’s army would crush the Hungarian Nazis like nothing.
    The big question is: what will the EU and NATO do about this fascist toad’s threat of violence? I’ll tell you, absolutely nothing, as usual.

  2. “There will be no deals, no compromises. We will break through the Ukrainian oil blockade by force,” the Hungarian prime minister said.

    The toad has an army of 41,600. Does he wants to lose his army in a week?

    • He admires both the moscovian rat and the orange pedophile, and since both are waging wars, he feels left out. 🤡😄

      • Maybe Ukraine can deliver a Flamingo or two to the huge mansion he built for himself with EU money.

          • Of course it would, but who gives a fuck about them? Their families are not being subjected to genocide.

            • Don’t get me wrong. I also don’t care what they think. But the damage they would be willing to do to Ukraine is my main concern. Unfortunately, we live in a fishbowl, and are surrounded by jellyfish.

              • Some jellyfish are the most dangerous animals in the world, unfortunately ours are the soft squishy kind and about as dangerous as a gummy bear.

                • Take note, when I use the jellyfish term for the West’s inglorious leaders, I NEVER mean the dangerous ones, only the squishy, mushy, slimy, harmless ones.

      • I doubt he could invoke article 5 if he attacks Ukraine. Not that he will of course. He knows he has no chance in the election next month, so this is a last act of desperation.

        • He’s only making a fool of himself, and I think this threat might have cost him more points less. 😄

          • I can’t wait to see the fat toad marched out of office then tossed into prison for the rest of his miserable life.
