It is fortunate that the two meeting rooms are close to each other, Peter Szjjarto said, because, as he put it, "we will have to defend Hungary's interests in both places. The Foreign Affairs Council wants to further fuel the war atmosphere by giving even more money and even more weapons to the Ukrainians, while the Energy Council wants to destroy the security of our energy supply by banning the purchase of natural gas and crude oil from Russia."
