Orbán hits back at Zelensky amid Hungary-Ukraine oil, EU funding row | Russia

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has sharply responded to remarks by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy amid escalating tensions over oil supplies and EU funding. Orbán said the issue was “not about me, but about Hungary,” after Zelenskyy appeared to warn him against blocking a €90 billion EU loan to Ukraine. The dispute comes as Hungary and Slovakia accuse Ukraine of halting oil flows through the Druzhba pipeline for political reasons. Kyiv claims the disruption was caused by damage from a Russian attack. In retaliation, Budapest has halted diesel supplies to Ukraine and blocked the EU’s latest sanctions package against Russia.
