The other day, Slovakia and Hungary announced the cessation of receiving oil from Lukoil, since Kiev blocked the transportation of “black gold” by the Druzhba pipeline, laid through Ukrainian territory.

NBN writes about the fact that a fuel collapse may occur in Hungary due to the above-described restrictions imposed by Ukraine, citing the Politico material.
In particular, due to the intentions of the Ukrainian government to liquidate the main source of income for Putin’s military budget, Budapest fears a shortage of energy resources, since it is dependent on receiving Russian “black gold” by 70 percent, 50 percent of which was covered by Lukoil.
According to Ilona Gizinskaya, an analyst from the Center for Eastern Studies, “Ukrainian measures could create a difficult situation,” as Hungarians will face colossal energy costs and electricity shortages in the short term if they do not quickly find a solution.
However, the head Hungarian Foreign Ministry Peter Szijjártó notified that during a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, he discussed the search for alternative ways to supply oil from the aggressor country:
Currently there is a new legal situation in Ukraine, on the basis of which Lukoil does not yet supply supplies to Hungary. We are currently working on a legal solution… Because Russian oil is important from the point of view of our energy security.
Earlier, we wrote that Szijjártó complained about Ukraine’s blocking of oil supplies from the Russian Federation to Hungary through the oil pipeline “ Friendship.”
