"Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Friday mocked his meeting a day earlier with EU leaders, criticising Brussels for pressuring Budapest to approve a 90 billion euro (104.3 billion USD) loan for Ukraine and insisting Hungary would not do so unless Kiev lifted its 'blockade' of the Druzhba oil pipeline. "How much better is the company? [...] I have a child and a wife, and sometimes I have to struggle one against six, but yesterday the situation was worse, I was fighting one against 25, because eventually everyone wanted to persuade us to get in line," he told the attendees in Szentendre. "If there is a Ukrainian- if there is an oil blockade, then there will be a Hungarian loan veto. If there is no oil, there is no money. If there is oil, then there will be money too," the PM emphasised. Orban went on by condemning Kiev's action as a 'capital crime', accusing President Volodymyr Zelensky and his government of attempting to 'destabilise' the Hungarian economy amid the energy crisis driven by the Middle East conflict. "Until Zelensky gives us what is ours, [...] I will not support in Brussels. We will not negotiate or make deals under the pressure of blackmail and threats, and we will not make deals," he underlined. "We wanted to stay out of World War I in vain, Istvan Tisza wanted to stay out in vain. In the end, we were still dragged into the war, and we lost two-thirds of the country," the PM remarked. Hungary and Slovakia accused Ukraine of halting supplies for political reasons and not being truthful about why it had stopped. Kiev claims a Russian strike damaged the pipeline. Zelensky has been accused of threatening Orban's life, saying he could give the PM's 'address' to his armed forces, if Hungary did not change its mind on blocking the loan. Budapest has also accused the EU and Kiev of trying to interfere in upcoming elections and attempting to remove Orban's government, and Ukraine alone of funding the opposition, after millions in cash and gold bars were seized. The opposition Tisza party has denied it."
