Russia has halted its supply of crude oil to Hungary after Ukraine imposed stricter sanctions on Russian oil giant Lukoil.
Despite the fact that EU pipeline crude imports from Russia are not banned by the embargo, Russia is not delivering crude oil to Hungary at present after Ukraine imposed stricter sanctions on Russia n oil giant Lukoil , effectively banning it from using Ukraine as a transit for oil exports. Lukoil was supplying Hungary with crude via the southern leg of the Druzhba oil pipeline which crosses Ukraine .
Szijjarto met on Tuesday with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the sidelines of a United Nations meeting in New York. “There’s now a legal situation in Ukraine based on which Lukoil is not currently delivering to Hungary,” Szijjarto was quoted by Bloomberg as saying after the meeting.
