Hungary is facing a potential energy crisis due to a partial ban imposed by Ukraine on the transit of Russian oil through its territory. This move, aimed at cutting a key revenue stream for Russia amidst its ongoing conflict with Ukraine, has halted oil supplies from Lukoil, a major supplier to Hungary and Slovakia. Hungary, which relies on Russia for 70% of its oil imports, is urgently seeking alternative sources to avoid severe shortages and skyrocketing energy prices. Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó criticized Ukraine's actions and mentioned ongoing discussions to resolve the issue, including meetings with Russian officials. Despite the halt from Lukoil, other Russian oil supplies continue to flow to Europe, highlighting the complexity and volatility of the region's energy reliance on Russian resources.
