US EditionUkraine's collapse would be a disaster for Hungary, says Orbán
Orbán claims Ukraine depends on Hungary for nearly half its electricity and gas, warning that Ukraine's fall would destabilize Hungary and affect regional security.
- On December 21, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán warned at an anti-war rally in Szeged that Ukraine's collapse would be a catastrophe for Hungary.
- Citing energy links, Orbán said Ukraine relies on Hungary for 44% of its electricity and 56% of its natural gas, figures Hungarian officials have previously used to defend ties with Russia.
- Reiterating his stance, Orbán said assistance to Ukraine prolongs the war and one day earlier said it is 'hard to tell who attacked whom', diverging from international consensus.
- Facing electoral resistance, Viktor Orbán is emphasising his international experience while continuing to rally supporters on a Country tour, including in Szeged on Sunday.
- Highlighting local impacts, he added that stability next door affects Hungary's security and land values, and he recently traveled to Moscow for talks with Vladimir Putin about crude oil and natural gas supplies.
