“Energy safety is a matter of nationwide safety! That’s why I’m going …” the Hungarian international minister wrote in an early morning Facebook submit, ending the sentence a number of hours later: “… to St. Petersburg.”
After his three-hour assembly with Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller — who has been sanctioned by the United States and United Kingdom for his position in supporting Russia’s conflict in Ukraine — Szijjártó wrote that Hungary’s power safety “can’t be assured” with out Russian fuel.
“Hungary is happy with Russian power cooperation,” he stated, including that “it takes some braveness in Europe at present to say that.”
Unlike different EU international locations, Hungary has refused to voluntarily curb its imports of Russian fuel over Vladimir Putin’s invasion towards Ukraine. Last October, it struck new offers with the Kremlin fossil gasoline big to spice up imports in the course of the winter heating season.
