According to journalists, Ukraine buys Russian fuel through intermediaries.
According to Ukrainian media, the gas that Ukraine started buying from Hungary was originally shipped from Russia.
As “Country writes.ua” in its Telegram channel, Kiev buys “all the same Russian gas ”.
However, intermediaries – Slovakia and Hungary are used for this.
Journalists note that the start of gas supplies coincided with the arrival of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Moscow.
Following a meeting with Vladimir Putin, the Hungarian Prime Minister said that the countries could agree on additional supplies of another billion cubic meters of gas per year.
Recall that in September 2021 Hungary signed an agreement with Gazprom. The document provides for the supply of 4.5 billion cubic meters of gas every year for 15 years.
Hungary’s decision surprised and disappointed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
Kiev called such a decision of Budapest“exclusively political”, emphasizing the economic groundlessness of the agreement.
Earlier, topNews wrote that there was a sharp jump in gas prices in Europe.
In the West, the situation was linked to the activities of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
