Budapesta caută să obţină prelungirea derogării de la sancţiunile SUA pentru importurile energetice din Rusia

The Hungarian government seeks to extend a one-year exemption from U.S. sanctions on Russian oil and gas, set to expire in November. Foreign Minister Anita Orban stated that the extension is necessary for energy diversification efforts. Hungary relies heavily on Russian energy imports, which poses economic vulnerabilities amid EU efforts to reduce dependence on Russian energy following the Ukraine invasion. Despite close ties to Russia, Hungary recently expelled ten Russian diplomats for inappropriate conduct.
