1. It is because Hungay cares more about their citicens well being, than politics, Germany do not care their tax payers investigate was Brown away by the US and to give the gas budines to US even if it is more expensive

2. Perhaps hungary should stop the electricity export to ukraine, currently totaling 42% of ukraines import. Also vito every aid package towards ukraine

3. Hungary should get kicked out of EU， let them join Soviet block.

4. Hungary & Slovakia are enemy states at this point.
   They need thrown out of EU ; they have nothing the civilized world wants

5. Hungary and Slovakia have been politically hostile to Ukraine, and aren't terribly popular with EU states. So where do they think they'll find a sympathetic mediator?

6. Too bad for Orban. Loser (cough, cough)

7. Hey Orban .I.

8. Slovakia and Hungary should invoke NATO article No 5 against Ukraine. As landlocked countries this is an existential energy pipeline for them.

9. Hungary and Slovakia can join the Russian Federation if they wish and leave the EU. They are two faced snakes in the grass who have nothing much to offer to the EU. . They EU does not need them, they need the EU a lot more .

10. This is really just the break up of the Soviet Union. The old states are fighting. The Soviet Union is still breaking up.

11. Hungary should buy oil from Russia instead then, probably cheaper

12. Wait – only now?

13. Summer getting hotter.

14. Hungary has not even tried to find alternative oil resources to those of Russia. It was time for Ukraine to shut Orban up.

15. Do you people even know where on the map Slovakia Hungary or Ukraine is … I am pretty sure 3 years ago 90% of you had no idea this countries exist and now you are experts

16. Maybe it would be better for both prime ministers of Hungary and Slovakia to go to Kyiv to discuss and ask for help from the Ukrainian leadership in resolving the issue of assistance to Hungary and Slovakia in this oil issue?

    Let everyone gather in Kyiv and discuss the oil issue.
    Let them buy the same oil, but from the Saudis. After all, by buying oil from Russia, they fill Putin's coffers, from which he sends sadistic Russians to kill Ukrainians and destroy Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

    Ukraine is forced to buy electricity, although previously it exported it itself, since the Russians used the money received from selling oil to Hungary and Slovakia to destroy thermal power plants etc. which amounted to 9 GW of electricity generation from the available 18 GW.

17. 2,5 years was plenty of time for Hungary to find alternatives.

18. Sicklensky playing politics😢

19. EU can't mediate anything as Ukraine AIN'T part of the EU. 😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😊😊😊😊 Oooops!

20. The two most corrupt countries in EU. There is nothing redeeming about them.

21. This was tolerated for too long! Go Ukraine!🇺🇦

22. Lukoil is just a Russian guise agency for their KGB and a was to bribe and infiltrate the west.

23. So the putlerian countries Hungary and Slovackia are boycotting the Ukrainians and working for the terrorists state Russia and they are complaining that the Ukrainians have cut the oil supply from Russia?Please,please give me a break.First of all these 2 countries shouldn't be part of the EU or NATO!

24. Hungary is against the EU and now they are calling for the EU. 😂It would be better for Hungary and the EU if Hungary left the EU.

25. Kick them out of the EU and NATO. It’s time for every country to choose a side

26. In my country, we have a proverb that goes :"God, protect me from my friends, so that i can take care of my enemies myself".

27. Ukraine has been incredibly patient while Orban acts like a child. Orban overplayed his hand, I can't even think why… does he think he's part of an empire again?

28. EU, UA… everybody sick of Hungary’s bs and corruption

29. EU is a JOKE.

30. Let orban get his oil from Hungarian olives😅

31. Well played, Ukraine.

32. And EU asking china and india to stop buying 😅😅😅 hypo at its best

33. It's a shame what's going on in the comments section! There is one question, war or peace? Slovakia and Hungary stood up for peace, that's why they are being punished now. Too many people died and too many Hungarians in the war. What's worse is that the EU leadership incites the war, and you support it with this thinking. It is not suspicious that everyone says the same thing in the comments. You are completely brainwashed. We need peace, not war, before it's too late.

34. It is HILARIOUS Hungry expects Ukraine to do them any favours.

35. Good Hungary and Slovakia to stand up for their interests . At least some are showing some sovereignty in this desperate Europe

36. Lol. Orban can go get oil from Venezuela 😅

37. ORBAN IS CORRUPT

38. This is an AWESOME move by Ukraine. Put the pressure on Hungary.

39. Whaa, whaa whaa Whaaaaa, Hey Hungry, suck it up!!!! 😅😅😅

40. Hungary can just shut off the electric they are sending to Ukraine. Its barely helping them anyways. 😂

41. So u mean to tell us that Ukraine had this upper hand opportunity but waited all this while?

42. Independent thinking = Pro Moscow. Joining the war bandwagon is worse than censorship.

43. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

44. Zelenskyy seems to be losing Friends?

45. I am so disgusted by Hungary's attitude at this point. I am really baffled that Ukraine did not stop anything ruSSian going through its territory so far.
    What do people expect? That Ukraine facilitates fascist ruSSia exports, to use the money in the war against Ukraine? How crazy are people nowadays?
    orban licks the boots of putler after ruSSia had trampled Hungary in 1956? Wow, just wow!!! What's next? To see Trump taking orders from kremlin?

46. Interesting, what will Ukraine do when Hungary and Slovakia declare war and invade. Such measures led Japan to enter WWII. Ukrainians are inept in their foreign politics as ever….

47. Good move…
