The Hungarian prime minister has slammed Kiev for pushing a ban on Russian energy supplies
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has branded Ukraine an “enemy” over its demands that Hungary stop buying Russian oil and gas.
Budapest has resisted the EU’s attempts to phase out Russian energy supplies as part of sanctions imposed on Russia over the Ukraine conflict, which broke out in February 2022.
Speaking at a campaign rally in the western city of Szombathely on Saturday, Orban accused Ukraine of undermining Hungary’s security.
“The Ukrainians must stop their constant demands in Brussels to disconnect Hungary from cheap Russian energy,” Orban said.
“As long as Ukraine demands that Hungary be cut off from cheap Russian energy, Ukraine is not simply our opponent, Ukraine is our enemy,” he said, warning that households would face dramatic spikes in utility bills.
