"We can't ensure the safe supply [of energy products] for our country without Russian oil or gas sources, while adding that he understood Trump's approach. For us, energy supplies are a purely physical question, he said. It can be nice to dream about buying oil and gas from somewhere [besides Russia] but we can only buy from where we have infrastructure."
"I am ready to do major Sanctions on Russia when all NATO Nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all NATO Nations STOP BUYING OIL FROM RUSSIA, Trump said on his Truth Social platform last week. The demand followed a series of deadlines Trump had set for Moscow to make progress on ending the war with Ukraine, which passed without further action."
Peter Szijjarto said Hungary cannot ensure safe national energy supplies without Russian oil and gas because physical infrastructure limits alternatives. He acknowledged Donald Trump's demand that NATO stop buying Russian oil but emphasized that Hungary can only buy from where pipelines and terminals exist. Trump conditioned major sanctions on all NATO nations ceasing Russian oil purchases. Hungary's state-owned MOL Group imports about 5 million tonnes of oil annually via the Druzhba pipeline, supplying refineries in Hungary and Slovakia. Viktor Orban maintains close ideological ties with Trump, has criticized Ukraine, and retains cordial relations with the Kremlin.
