Brussels oil feud: Hungary blocks Ukraine aid amid Druzhba dispute

Hungary’s foreign minister Péter Szijjártó vetoed urgent Ukraine aid in Brussels over an energy dispute linked to the Druzhba oil pipeline and clashed with Ukrainian journalists, arguing Hungary’s sovereign energy choices and accusing Kyiv of hostility. The move risks stalling a sanctions package, with Hungary previously exempt from a loan but signaling a reversal. The EU says Druzhba damage was caused by a Russian strike, while Kyiv and Brussels trade blame as Europe seeks to reduce Russian oil by 2027.

In his pre-election Budapest address, Viktor Orbán branded Brussels as the real threat and dismissed Western framing of Russia as 'Putin-ing' as primitive. He vowed to purge 'Brussels agents,' touted welfare measures funded by big‑business taxes, and signaled Hungary won’t send money or weapons to Ukraine, while warning Europe could head toward war by 2030 with the US seen as a friend.

The plan faced opposition from Belgium and some Eastern European countries, but was ultimately supported by most EU leaders, with Ukraine urgently needing funds amid ongoing war and economic crisis.
