The EU has almost refused to accept Russian energy supplies, but Hungary, which has no sea ports, still receives 80-85 percent of its “blue fuel” and 80 percent of its crude oil from the aggressor country.

As NBN reports with reference to the Reuters agency material, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban believes that the European Union needs to reconsider sanctions against the terrorist state for fairly predictable, financial reasons.

According to Orban, the cost of energy (gas and oil) should be reduced by any available means. In particular, the Hungarian Prime Minister is convinced that Brussels must reconsider the sanctions restrictions in favor of the Russian Federation, since under the current European policy, energy prices cannot be lowered.

In addition, the pro-Russian official added that American energy supply companies allegedly pay only 25 percent of the amount that their European colleagues spend on “blue fuel” and electricity, and such a shortcoming cannot be offset by other means than lifting sanctions against the Russian Federation.

Earlier, we wrote that Orban stated that Europe is not in a position to financially support Ukraine without Trump’s help.
