Hungary should stop relying on ‘war criminal’ Putin for gas, EU energy chief warns

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:50:18 GMT

BRUSSELS — Hungary should step up efforts to end purchases of Russian energy that are leaving the country open to malign influence from the Kremlin, Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson said today.“Even Hungary knows that by continuing this activity, they grant Russia the right to manipulate their market,” Simson said during POLITICO’s Sustainability Future Week summit, adding that it’s “not [in] their interest to continue this dependence.”Russian gas export giant Gazprom announced last month that it would ramp up deliveries of natural gas to Hungary this winter following talks in Beijing between Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán and Russian President Vladimir Putin.“I know one political leader in Europe who is shaking hands with this war criminal, but that’s it,” Simson said in an oblique reference to the meeting.The announcement was the second time Budapest and Moscow have agreed on additional gas volumes since Russia launched its full-sca...
