"Hungarian lawmaker Gabriella Selmeczi on Monday said her country won't be 'pushed around', accusing Brussels of 'silence' after Kiev allegedly violated an energy security understanding that had previously granted exemptions to Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. "We can say that, because we haven't heard a peep from Brussels saying, 'Dear Ukrainian brothers, you signed an international agreement with the European Union concerning energy security, and now you have violated it.' [...] Brussels doesn't say a single damn word," Selmeczi said during an episode of Hour of Truth in Budapest. The comments come after Hungary announced it will block a €90 billion emergency loan for Ukraine, accusing the country of 'blackmail' over a damaged pipeline used for Russian oil transit, escalating tensions ahead of April's general election. Selmeczi insisted Hungary provided 'its largest humanitarian aid effort to date' for Ukrainian refugees, but says Kiev has shown the 'very least' in gratitude, particularly regarding the treatment of the Hungarian minority residing in Ukraine’s Transcarpathia region. “They would like Ukraine to be a member of the European Union in nine months,” she added. She warned that rapid accession would flood EU markets with Ukrainian agricultural products, strain subsidy systems, and threaten Hungarian farmers with bankruptcy. Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Sunday that Hungary's recent countermeasures against Ukraine target government policy, not the Ukrainian people, after Kiev halted Russian crude oil shipments via the Druzhba pipeline. Hungary continues to rely on piped oil and gas, including supplies via the Adria pipeline through Croatia and from strategic reserves. The EU sanctions package targets Russian crude, including maritime services, insurance, and port access, and requires unanimous approval from all 27 member states. Brussels has warned that nearly 600 vessels linked to a 'shadow fleet' will face tighter controls. Earlier, the Kremlin called EU sanctions 'illegal', warning that unilateral restrictions could backfire. The European Parliament also adopted a package of proposals aimed at supporting Ukraine with a €90 billion loan for 2026-2027 to address Kiev's financing needs."
