PM Orban: Once Oil Comes, Money Can Go

"Once oil deliveries through the Druzhba pipeline are restored, we will no longer block the approval of the loan," outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in connection with the EU loan package for Ukraine, adding that Brussels passed on signals from Kyiv.

The minister believes that Ukraine, in cooperation with the Commission, is applying a tactic of continuously attaching new conditions to the fulfillment of its existing international obligations. He warned that the shadow of an oil blockade used as an energy weapon could continue to shape the atmosphere of Hungarian-Ukrainian negotiations in the future.
