A deepening energy dispute inside Europe is exposing growing divisions over the Ukraine war. Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow would continue supplying oil and gas only to “reliable partners,” as Hungary sought guarantees that Russian energy deliveries would continue despite the ongoing crisis. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto accused Ukraine of blocking oil shipments through the Druzhba pipeline for weeks, warning that global energy security is already under pressure following the Iran war and disruptions to maritime oil routes. Meanwhile, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of falsely claiming the pipeline had been severely damaged and threatened to cut emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine and block a €90 billion EU loan package if oil flows are not restored. The dispute highlights a growing rift within the European Union as energy security, war funding for Kyiv and relations with Russia collide. #putin #hungary #
