The European Union (EU) rebuffed concerns from Hungary and Slovakia over a decision by Ukraine to sanction a major Russian oil company and rejected for now their request for urgent consultations over the security of crude supplies.

Meanwhile, Ukraine PM Denys Shmyhal said that his country will uphold the sanctions after discussion with Slovak counterpart Robert Fico.

Shmyhal emphasized that Kyiv insists on its partners’ maximum rejection of Russian oil but remains a reliable transit partner “for all countries that value freedom and the rule of law” and “unequivocally fulfills the Association Agreement with the EU.”

    You had two years to prepare, Orban, but instead decided to focus on being an obstructionist asshat. Eat shit.

      I’d offer Hungary a favourable loan to build a pipeline westwards so they can get themselves connected to the European grid and not be dependent on Russian energy anymore.

      But something tells me this isn’t what Orban wants.

      Yes, and don’t let us forget that neither Orban nor Fico appear to be this type of politician who is seeking democratic consensus.

    Sadly, they will spin it in a way that makes EU even more evil but oh well. Orban and Fico reap what they sew.
