Zelensky Accuses Hungary of Choosing Russian Oil Over Allies

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has publicly accused Hungary of hypocrisy over its energy policy. His statement came after a series of Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Zelenskyy said that Croatia had offered to supply Hungary with oil. However, he claimed Budapest refused and instead chose to keep buying from Russia. The Ukrainian leader framed this as a moral choice. He suggested Hungary prioritized Russian profits over European solidarity and Ukrainian security. This sharp criticism highlights a major division within the European Union. Hungary continues to rely heavily on Russian energy, while other members work to end it. The remarks increase diplomatic pressure on Hungary’s government. They come as Ukraine pleads for more support to defend its critical facilities.
