Balazs Orban: Ukraine’s Electricity Imports from Hungary Hit Record High in January

Ukraine’s electricity imports reached a record high in January, with Hungary supplying nearly half of the volumes, Balazs Orban pointed out on his social media page. According to the Hungarian Prime Minister's political director, this puts in a new light the efforts in Brussels to cut Hungary off from Russian energy sources.

I would like to point out to all Brussels and Ukrainian leaders, as well as their appointees in the Tisza Party, that in light of this, it may not be a good idea to force Hungary to be cut off from Russian gas,

he wrote in his post.
