Speaking to the press on Friday morning, the prime minister noted that Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia had previously opposed taking out the 90-billion-euro loan intended for Ukraine.
Viktor Orbán added that the three countries later agreed to allow the significant loan to be taken out without their participation. “At that time, the Druzhba pipeline was still operational. As I said yesterday:”
If they had imposed an oil embargo on us back then, I would never have agreed—even without Hungary—to disburse a loan to Ukraine,”
he stated in Brussels.
