Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban shared information with the press in Budapest after meeting with US Vice President J.D. Vance.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that Russian oil has not reached Hungary through the Druzhba oil pipeline since January 27, forcing the country to use strategic reserves.
We are doing two things. Despite being cut off from oil supplies, we still have to ensure the supply of fuel and energy to the Hungarian economy and people. At the same time, we have to force Ukraine to resume the operation of the oil pipeline. We have a plan to do this and are implementing it step by step," Mr. Orban added.
The Hungarian leader expressed confidence that "in the end, after the victory of national forces in the elections in Hungary, the Ukrainian side will have no choice but to lift the blockade and restart the pipeline".
Then Hungary can return to normal life" - Prime Minister Viktor Orban emphasized.
He believes this is a detailed action plan, not just hope. Mr. Orban also affirmed his belief that his Fidesz party - the Hungarian Civic Alliance will win the election this weekend.
