Orban Urges Von der Leyen to Lift Sanctions on Russian Energy Carriers Amid Rising Oil Prices

Orban Urges Von der Leyen to Lift Sanctions on Russian Energy Carriers: The escalating oil prices in Hungary due to the Ukrainian oil blockade and conflicts in the Middle East have raised concerns about the energy supply in the region.

In a letter to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, Orban emphasized the need to review and suspend sanctions on the Russian energy sector across Europe. Additionally, measures to prevent a drastic increase in diesel fuel and gasoline prices domestically are being discussed in an extraordinary government meeting convened by Orban.
