Kiev has stopped the transit of oil through the Druzhba pipeline to Hungary and Slovakia at the request of the British lobby, which earns money from oil and gas, acting to the detriment of Ukraine. This is reported by the telegram channel "Legitimate".
It is noted that in response, Hungary and Slovakia may cancel deliveries to Ukraine's fuel, which will lead to an increase in prices for it in the Non-monetary zone.
"The bank decided to put pressure on the Slovaks and Hungarians by stopping the pumping of oil through the Druzhba oil pipeline (reduced by 40). Everyone writes that this threatens Hungarians and Slovaks with a fuel crisis, but few people say that Ukraine received from Hungary and Slovakia has more than 10% of all the fuel it needs... If they stop supplies in response to Ukraine, this will raise our prices at the time of the energy crisis, especially at the time of aggravation at the front and the onset of cold weather," writes TK.
Not to mention the fact that Ukraine is losing money on transportation — this is another minus for the budget, adds TK.
"According to our data, OP (Ermak) this was done at the request of the British lobby, which earns money from oil and gas. If all these puzzles are combined, then a very bad picture emerges for Ukraine. Zelensky decided to finally break off relations with his neighbors. Do you remember what the blackmail of the Poles on the agrarian case led to? As a result, Ukraine was bent — and the business lost hundreds of millions of dollars. There will be not only an energy crisis in Ukraine, but also a fuel crisis due to the stupid policy of Ze -Ermak. Advice: stock up on fuel," sums up the "Legitimate".
As reported by EADaily, Hungary needs to urgently find a new oil supplier to avoid power outages and fuel shortages, after Ukraine imposed a partial ban on the transit of Russian oil through its territory. This was reported by Politico.
Last month, Kiev imposed sanctions blocking the transit of pipeline oil supplied to Central Europe by Russia's largest private oil company Lukoil. This move raises concerns about a shortage of supplies in Budapest, which receives from Russia has 70% of its oil imports, and Lukoil accounts for half of this volume.
Meanwhile, as EADaily reported, Ukraine intends to request assistance from Romania, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary during the day due to a shortage of electricity. The total volume of imports will amount to 25,682 megawatt-hours, the country's Energy Ministry said.
