US Senators Seek To Sanction Hungary Over Obstructing Ukraine Aid
Because US Congress is perfectly functional, and all domestic issues have been resolved (one would very ironically think), the FT reports that a bipartisan pair of US senators are set to introduce legislation calling for sanctions to be imposed on senior Hungarian officials involved in obstructing aid to Ukraine.
If passed, the Block Putin act would require President Trump to impose financial sanctions and visa bans on Hungarian government officials involved in the country's purchases of Russian oil and gas, and who have sought to block support for Ukraine.
The introduction of the bill comes as Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has held up a €90bn EU loan to Ukraine as he faces a tough re-election campaign ahead of parliamentary elections next month. Opinion polls indicated Orbán, who has served as prime minister since 2010, could lose power. The opposition Tisza party's lead stood at 23% points on Wednesday, accordi...

EU Accuses Hungary Of 'Pro-Russian Espionage'
Authored by Lucas Leiroz de Almeida via InfoBrics,
The rhetorical escalation between Budapest and Brussels continues to grow. Now, the EU accuses Hungary of actively sabotaging Europe by passing strategic information about the bloc to the Russian side. This type of serious accusation could never be made without proof, yet it has become common practice for the Western liberal regimes to accuse its rival countries of “collaborating with Russia” even without any evidence.
In a recent statement, the Hungarian Foreign Minister responded to recent European accusations of pro-Russian "espionage" by Hungarian authorities. According to the Hungarian minister, the EU is spreading lies and fake news about Hungary to try to influence the anti-Orban opposition, hoping to obtain a pro-EU result in the upcoming Hungarian elections.
Szijjarto's words were especially directed at Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who had previously repeated rumors...

Hungary To Halt Gas Deliveries To Ukraine Over Its Energy 'Blackmail': Orban
Hungary is moving to choke off gas flows to Ukraine, escalating an energy standoff after Kiev halted Russian oil transit via the Druzhba pipeline.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban in a fresh social media video address reiterated that Ukraine has blocked the Soviet-era route for a month, and he newly warned: "As long as Ukraine does not provide oil, it will not receive gas from Hungary," according to a translation.

Orban added that diverted supplies will be stockpiled domestically, filling up the country's own reserves, arguing the move is justified as Ukraine "is also attacking the southern gas pipeline that supplies Hungary," referring to the TurkStream corridor.
Framing the dispute as an energy security battle, Orban declared: "We will defend Hungary's energy security, the protected petrol price, and the reduced gas prices" - adding Hungary has so far "successfully defen...
