Ungaria cere prelungirea derogării SUA pentru petrolul și gazele rusești

Hungary plans to request a one-year extension from the U.S. for its exemption from sanctions on Russian oil and gas imports, as the current exemption expires in November. The country remains heavily reliant on Russian energy, with over 90% of its oil and gas imports coming from Russia. The extension would allow Hungary more time 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. The move aligns with EU efforts to reduce dependence on Russian energy following the Ukraine invasion.
