Ungaria cere prelungirea derogării SUA de la sancțiunile ce vizează importul și utilizarea petrolului și gazelor ruseșt

Hungary plans to request a one-year extension from the U.S. for a waiver on sanctions allowing the import of Russian oil and gas, as stated by Foreign Minister Anita Orban. The current waiver is set to expire in November, and Hungary's energy dependence on Russia remains high, with over 90% of its oil and gas imports coming from there. The extension would provide more time for Hungary to diversify its energy sources and adapt its infrastructure. This request highlights the ongoing importance of Russian energy supplies for Hungary, despite recent diplomatic tensions, including the expulsion of Russian diplomats.
