Until Friendship is restored.

Hungary has announced that it will block a 90 billion euro loan from the EU to Ukraine until Russian oil supplies through the Druzhba pipeline are resumed.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó said this on Friday, writes European Pravda.

Sijjarto said Ukraine was blackmailing Hungary by "stopping oil transit in coordination with Brussels and the Hungarian opposition to create supply disruptions in Hungary and raise fuel prices before the elections."

"We are blocking the EU's €90 billion loan to Ukraine until oil transit to Hungary through the Druzhba pipeline resumes," the Hungarian minister announced.

He argues that by blocking oil transit to Hungary through the Druzhba pipeline, Ukraine is violating the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement. "We will not give in to this blackmail," Szijjártó stated.
