Ungaria vrea prelungirea scutirii care îi permite să folosească petrol și gaze rusești - Economica.net

The Hungarian government is seeking 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 exemption was negotiated between former U.S. President Trump and Viktor Orban. Hungary relies heavily on Russian energy imports, which poses economic vulnerabilities amid EU efforts to reduce dependence on Russian energy following the Ukraine invasion. Orban emphasized the need for more time for the Hungarian energy group MOL to diversify its energy sources. Meanwhile, the current government has expelled ten Russian diplomats for inappropriate conduct.
