… Hungary for political reasons. Zelenskyy stated that neither Hungarian, Slovak nor EU experts will be allowed to inspect the Druzhba pipeline.

This made it obvious that there is no technical reason for the blockade. The reply from Brussels then finally arrived, making it clear that Kyiv and Brussels are working together.

The EU Commission did not stand up for Hungary and Slovakia. Instead, it claims our countries face no supply difficulties and is defending Ukraine rather than supporting two member states.

Moreover, Brussels is cooperating with Croatia to block Russian oil deliveries to Hungary and Slovakia by sea, despite the EU decision allowing this when pipeline transport is not possible. This is shameful and outrageous.
