Hungary will gradually halt natural gas deliveries to Ukraine until crude oil flows on the Druzhba pipeline resume, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said, escalating an energy standoff with Kyiv.⁣ ⁣ Orban accused Ukraine of blocking oil supplies and said Hungary would store gas domestically to protect its energy security and maintain low fuel prices. Kyiv says the Druzhba pipeline was damaged by a Russian drone attack and repairs are ongoing, with EU experts assessing the system.⁣ ⁣ Gas shipments from Hungary to Ukraine were still continuing on Wednesday, according to pipeline data, even as tensions over energy supplies deepen.⁣ ⁣ #Hungary #Ukraine #Orban #Energy #Europe
