Budapest, October 16 (Xinhua) — Russian natural gas supplies to Hungary have reached a new record this year, exceeding 6 billion cubic meters to date. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó announced this on social media on Wednesday.
According to him, the volume of fuel supplied is more than 21 million cubic meters per day and is “critically important for Hungary’s energy security.”
P. Szijjártó reiterated that Hungary supports the diversification of energy resources through the use of different sources and routes, but it opposes the closure of “well-functioning and reliable supply lines.”
The European Union is promoting a strategy to gradually wean itself off dependence on Russian energy. In June, the European Commission adopted a legislative proposal to phase out imports of Russian gas and oil by the end of 2027.
Hungary and Slovakia have expressed serious doubts about the plan, warning that rapid cuts could threaten their energy security and economic stability.
