"We have stopped supplying gasoline to Ukraine, we will not supply diesel fuel either, but we will continue to supply electricity, and we will also suspend important supplies for Ukraine through Hungary until Ukraine agrees to supply oil," Orban told the Kossuth radio broadcaster.Earlier, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said that Hungary had blocked the 20th package of anti-Russia sanctions and the 90 billion euro loan ($106 billion) to Ukraine due to Ukraine's shutdown of the Druzhba oil pipeline.

Hungary to Stop Vital Supplies for Ukraine Unless Druzhba Oil Transit Revived - Orban
07:30 GMT 06.03.2026 (Updated: 13:20 GMT 06.03.2026) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Hungary will halt the transit of essential supplies to Ukraine until it resumes oil flows via the Druzhba pipeline, Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced on Friday.
"We have stopped supplying gasoline to Ukraine, we will not supply diesel fuel either, but we will continue to supply electricity, and we will also suspend important supplies for Ukraine through Hungary until Ukraine agrees to supply oil," Orban told the Kossuth radio broadcaster.
Earlier, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said that Hungary had blocked the 20th package of anti-Russia sanctions and the 90 billion euro loan ($106 billion) to Ukraine due to Ukraine's shutdown of the Druzhba oil pipeline.
On February 13, Slovakia's Economy Ministry announced that oil supplies to the Central European country via the Druzhba pipeline had been suspended. While the ministry expected deliveries to resume within days, they did not materialize. By February 18, the Slovak government had declared a crisis situation due to the oil shortage, authorizing the release of up to 250,000 tonnes of oil from state reserves to the Slovnaft refinery. Economy Minister Denisa Sakova noted that Ukrainian authorities had previously postponed the restoration of supplies.
