US EditionPolish president cancels meeting with Hungary’s Orban over Russia visit
Nawrocki canceled the bilateral meeting after Orbán secured long-term Russian oil and gas supplies, a move conflicting with EU energy policy and Poland’s stance on Russia.
- On Wednesday, Polish President Karol Nawrocki will travel to Hungary but will no longer meet Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, limiting his visit to the Visegrad presidents' summit in Ostrzyhom, Marcin Przydacz said.
- After Orbán's Moscow trip, the Presidential Palace cited his claim of securing long-term Russian energy supplies and Hungary's indefinite US sanctions waiver as reasons to alter the visit.
- Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin praised Orbán's 'balanced position' during his Kremlin speech, while Tusk called the visit 'a fatal combination' on X.
- Hungary maintains Russian energy imports are essential to its economy, a stance that conflicts with European Union policy to limit such imports until the year 2027.
- The episode may deepen questions about European Union cohesion as Poland's decision to curtail talks highlights strains over divergent energy policies toward Russia, while Hungary maintains dependence, Orbán said.
