"Hungarian PM Viktor Orban told reporters he would block any 'pro-Ukrainian proposal' at the EU until Kiev had restarted supplies of oil via the Druzhba pipeline from Russia, as he arrived in Brussels on Thursday. "It's not a joke. It's not a political game. Zelensky should understand it, that this is not a game. This is absolutely existential for the Hungarians. for the Hungarians no any no any pro-Ukrainian decision is supported by Hungary till the oil issue is not settled," he said. Hungary and Slovakia have accused Ukraine of halting supplies for political reasons - and not being truthful about why it had stopped. Kiev claims the pipeline was damaged by a Russian strike. Budapest has also accused the EU and Kiev of trying to interfere in upcoming elections and attempting to remove Orban's government - and has even accused Ukraine of funding the opposition after millions in cash and gold bars were seized. The opposition Tisza party has denied it. Leaders were arriving for the latest European Council talks, with Iran, Ukraine, and global energy prices set to be top of the agenda. "
