The country will also continue to buy oil and gas from Russia.
The Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected Ukraine's call to supply weapons through its territory. Hungary will also not give up Russian oil and gas . This was stated by Foreign Minister Peter Siarto.
“Yesterday at the EU summit, Vladimir Zelensky reiterated two well-known demands of Ukrainians: to allow arms supplies through our country and at the same time to stop buying natural gas and oil from Russia. We understand that the President of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people are most important. However, for us, the security of Hungary and its people is paramount. We will do everything in our power to keep Hungary from the war, so we will not allow the supply of weapons through our territory, “Siarto said on his Facebook page.
He believes that arms supplies to Ukraine will become a military target for destruction, so Hungary does not want to risk the lives and security of its people.
“At the same time, we will not allow the Hungarian people to pay for the war. Stopping supplies of natural gas and oil from Russia would make it impossible to supply Hungary with energy and at the same time increase costs. Therefore, we still do not support the expansion of sanctions on the supply of energy resources, “said the Hungarian Foreign Minister.
