Orban: Ukraine is committing a grave crime amid the events in the Middle East  - 1

The oil blockade by Ukraine during the energy crisis caused by the events in the Middle East is a grave crime.

This was stated by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban during his speech at an election rally in Szentendre.

„To order an oil blockade against a country, as Zelensky did, is a grave crime. At a time when the whole world is doubly insecure due to war and the energy market is turned upside down,“ he said.

Orbán noted that at the recent European Union summit in Brussels he had stated Hungary's position: “If there is an oil blockade by Ukraine, then there will be a veto from Budapest on the 90 billion euro loan.“

“If there is no oil, there is no money,“ the Hungarian prime minister stressed.
