"Foreign Minister of Hungary Peter Szijjarto, during an address from Brussels on Monday, claimed the German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul 'threatened' Budapest will face 'severe consequences' if it keeps blocking important decisions for Ukraine. "German foreign minister threatened us that if we do not give up the representation of Hungarian national interests, if we do not give up blocking important decisions for the Ukrainians unconditionally, it will have very severe consequences for Hungary," Szijjarto said. He added that Brusseles is expecting Hungary to buy oil at 'high price' and calling cheap Russian oil 'not good'. "Despite these threats and blackmail, it must be made clear that Hungary cannot be threatened or blackmailed from Kiev, from Brussels, or from Berlin," Szijjarto concluded. Earlier on the same day on the sidelines of Foreign Affairs Council, Wadephul claimed he was 'astonished' by Hungary's opposition to the 20th package of sanctions on Russia. "I am astonished by the Hungarian position. We will work with our Hungarian colleagues to discuss it. I do not believe it is right for Hungary to betray its own fight for freedom, for European sovereignty - and that is why we will also approach the Hungarians once more with our arguments, both in Budapest and naturally here in Brussels, to reconsider their position, because in the end, a look at history should show that it is right to remain oriented towards Europe," he said. Hungary warned that it would block the 20th package - and the latest $90bn loan - until the Druzhba pipeline was restored and oil supplies were resumed from Ukraine. Slovakia, in a similar move, said it would be suspending electricity supplies to Ukraine on Monday. Both countries have suspended diesel supplies to Kiev. Kiev alleges that the pipeline was damaged in a 'Russian attack', while both Hungary and Slovakia have claimed the halt in supplies is a 'political' move. Last week, the EU Commission admitted it wouldn't be setting any 'deadlines' or putting any 'pressure' on Kiev to get any work finished and resume supplies."
