"Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Friday that Budapest would not support a proposed €90 billion EU military loan for Ukraine, linking the decision to what he described as an ongoing ‘oil blockade’ by Kiev. Speaking in a video message before departing on a domestic trip, Szijjarto said that, despite “enormous pressure” on the Hungarian prime minister during recent talks in Brussels, EU partners had failed to secure Hungary’s backing for the funding package. "The situation is that the German Chancellor remains extremely nervous and tense. He continues to threaten us, because despite the enormous pressure exerted yesterday... they failed to secure our support for the €90 billion Ukrainian military loan, as Ukraine - clearly in coordination with Berlin and Brussels - continues to keep us under an oil blockade," he said. He added that Hungary’s position would not change while the dispute continues, stressing that “this is clear to everyone, no matter how upset” its European partners may be. Drawing parallels with previous disputes, Szijjarto referenced tensions during the 2015 migration crisis, when Hungary resisted EU pressure over migrant quotas. He said that, just as Hungary had “resisted and was right” at the time, it would again stand firm under current pressure. Reiterating Budapest’s broader position, he added that “the war in Ukraine is not our war; we have nothing to do with it, and we will stay out of it.” Hungary has repeatedly opposed EU initiatives aimed at increasing military and financial support for Ukraine, often citing energy security concerns. The dispute over oil supplies is linked to the Druzhba pipeline, a key route delivering Russian crude to Central Europe, which Hungarian officials say has been disrupted by Ukrainian actions. The proposed €90 billion package forms part of wider European efforts to sustain Ukraine’s military capacity."
