No. of Paragraph 19

“The EU today is incapable of defending its own member states, namely Slovakia and Hungary, against Ukraine’s blackmail; which can be owed to the EC president (Ursula von der Leyen) and the EU foreign and security policy chief (Josep Borrell),” Szijjarto said on Facebook, adding that “Ukraine has put at risk some 33 percent of Hungary’s and 45 percent of Slovakia’s crude oil imports by banning the transit of oil supplies by Russia’s Lukoil.”

“And instead of defending the two member states, the European Commission is coming up with excuses to defend Ukraine’s steps,” Szijjarto said, adding that “this is an unacceptable and outrageous behaviour on the part of Brussels bureaucrats”.

The foreign minister said he had spoken by phone with Juraj Blanar, his Slovak counterpart, earlier in the day, and they had agreed to continue their coordinated action on the matter. He said they agreed that EC and Ukraine’s action were “unacceptable,” adding that “we will not yield to blackmail, should it be directed at us either from Kyiv or from Brussels”.
