[Hungarian Prime Minister: European Energy Crisis Approaching, EU Should Replenish Oil and Gas Reserves Immediately] Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated on social media on the 4th that a serious energy crisis is looming, and the European economy is threatened by energy shortages and rising prices. The only way to avoid this impending crisis is for the EU to replenish its oil and gas reserves from all possible sources in the largest quantities and at the fastest speed. Every day is crucial. Orbán stated that he held talks with Slovak Prime Minister Fiçó Fico that day. He said that Hungary and Slovakia demand that Brussels immediately lift sanctions and restrictions on Russian energy in order to allow Ukrainian President Zelensky to immediately open the "Friendship" oil pipeline. Furthermore, plans to abandon Russian energy and adopt the more costly and unsustainable Brussels energy policy should be immediately rejected. (CCTV News)
