BUDAPEST, October 27. /TASS/. The Hungarian government opposes the European Commission's plan to fully ban Russian oil and gas by early 2028, as well as EU energy sanctions against Russia, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto reiterated while answering questions from members of parliament.
He noted that the sanctions have failed to achieve their goal and have not led to an end to the conflict in Ukraine, but EU leaders, despite these setbacks, do not intend to abandon their policies.
"They want to undermine not only the economy but also the security of European energy supplies," the foreign minister warned, his remarks broadcast on the legislature's website.
Szijjarto assured members of parliament that the government will not accept the approach proposed by Brussels.
"We will fight to the end and use all existing political and legal instruments to ensure the security of Hungary's energy supply," the minister stressed.
