Orbán has said that Ukraine is illegally funding his Globalist opposition and blocking Russian oil to destabilize his government.
Orbán has been very clear: no Druzhba pipeline oil, no EU funding.
Since Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán won’t accept Ukraine in NATO or in the EU, he became the enemy of Volodymyr Zelensky’s regime, who even threatened to unleash the Ukrainian military on him.
To get some vengeance on Orbán, and also to create an economic crisis who will favor the Globalist opposition that Kiev is illegally funding, Zelensky ordered the Druzhba (‘Friendship’) pipeline to be shut, cutting the flow of Russian oil that both Hungary and Slovakia depend on.

After that, to no one’s surprise, Orbán retaliated by blocking the life-saving 90-billion-euro loan from the EU to Ukraine.
Zelensky could have opened the oil flow and gotten the Brussels money – but he will only do it if and when Peter Magyar, the Globalist candidate he is backing, wins the April elections.
So, today, as the EU leaders met in the European Council headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, for a crucial summit, all eyes were on Orbán.
This is not a game. Access to affordable energy is vital for Hungarian families and businesses. We are not asking for favours. We insist on receiving what is rightfully ours, what keeps our homes warm and our economy running. It is time to end the oil blockade @ZelenskyyUa. pic.twitter.com/ttvcLxQaXd

“Zelensky should understand it, that this is not a game, this is absolutely existential for the Hungarians. We are waiting for the oil, all the other is just fairytale. What we are speaking about is not politics.
To get the oil is existential for the Hungarians. Without getting that oil, all the households and Hungarian companies will go to bankruptcy. So you know, it’s not a joke, it’s not a political game.”
Politico reported:
“EU leaders have failed to convince Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to drop his opposition to a €90 billion loan to fund Ukraine’s war effort, according to four diplomats and officials.
A 90-minute discussion on the loan failed to produce a clear path to a deal, according to the four diplomats and officials, granted anonymity to speak openly about the closed-door talks at the European Council.
According to one of the diplomats, European Council President António Costa blasted Orbán’s behavior as ‘unacceptable’ and a breach of the terms of cooperation that underpin the EU. Costa pointed out that no leader has ever violated ‘this red line before’.”

“Speaking in the room, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán rejected the idea that his block on the approval of a €90 billion loan to Ukraine is linked to the upcoming election, calling it ‘totally unfounded’, said an official familiar with the talks, granted anonymity to speak freely. Orbán accused his fellow leaders of caring more about Ukraine than about Hungary and said it is an ‘existential issue’ for Budapest.”
