Hungary and Slovakia no longer fueling Ukraine’s society and war effort.
With the constant position by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán against military help to Ukraine, as well as against Kiev joining NATO and the EU, he became an enemy of Volodymyr Zelensky’s regime.
So, it was hardly surprising when Zelensky’s goons blew up the Druzhba (‘Friendship’) pipeline that carried Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia through Ukrainian territory – even though Budapest and Bratislava both help Kiev in humanitarian ways, and with diesel and energy supplies.
Now, on the verge of the elections in Hungary, even the globalist European Union is pleading with Zelensky to repair the pipeline, lest PM Orbán gets to use this very potent political argument against Kiev and Brussels.

So yesterday (18), we learned that Hungary is suspending its shipments of diesel to Ukraine until the Druzhba pipeline is repaired and the Russian oil supplies to the country are restored.
Associated Press reported:
“Hungary and Slovakia, which have both received a temporary exemption from a European Union policy prohibiting imports of Russian oil, have accused Ukraine — without providing evidence — of deliberately holding up supplies.
In a video posted on social media Wednesday, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said the interruption to oil deliveries was ‘a political decision made by the Ukrainian president himself’.”

“Facing what promises to be the most challenging election of his last 16 years in power in April, Orbán has launched an aggressive anti-Ukraine and anti-EU campaign, seeking to convince voters that the neighboring country poses an existential risk to Hungary and that he is the only guarantor of its safety.”
Hungary’s actions were immediately mirrored by Slovakia, who announced an end to energy transfers to Ukraine.
