Ukraine’s, US’ actions fraught with another energy crisis in Europe — Hungarian PM

The recent steps taken by Ukraine when it halted Russian gas transit via its territory and the United States, which imposed sanctions against Russian oil and gas companies, a fraught with another energy crisis in Europe, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said.

"Alarming developments have been reported in the area of Europe’s energy supplies in recent days. The Ukrainians blocked the gas pipeline feeding Hungary with gas, while the American administration imposed sanctions, which triggered a rise in energy prices in Europe. Europe is moving headlong to an energy crisis," he said in a video address from Belgrade where he has held talks with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.

According to Orban, Ukraine’s and US actions have triggered a growth in fuel prices in Europe. "What is now happening at Hungarian filling stations is shocking," he noted, adding that this threatens people’s wellbeing and harms the economy. "Europe must avoid this," he stressed.

Earlier, he said that the biggest threat to the national economy comes from the rise in oil and gas prices provoked by Western sanctions against Russia.

  2. Primer ministro de Hungría advierte que Europa "se precipita hacia otra crisis energética"

    La interrupción del tránsito del gas ruso por Ucrania, unida a las sanciones impuestas por Estados Unidos a las compañías rusas de petróleo y gas, suponen un riesgo importante de sumir a Europa en una nueva crisis energética, advirtió el primer ministro húngaro, Viktor Orban. Planteó estas preocupaciones durante su visita a Belgrado, donde mantuvo conversaciones centradas en los desafíos energéticos con el presidente serbio, Aleksandar Vucic.

    "Los recientes acontecimientos en el suministro energético de Europa son alarmantes. Ucrania ha bloqueado un gasoducto que suministraba gas a Hungría y la Administración estadounidense ha introducido sanciones que han hecho subir los precios de la energía en toda Europa. El continente se precipita hacia otra crisis energética", expresó Orban.
