Hungary's Magyar reiterates reliance on Russian oil

Hungarian political leader Péter Magyar has stated that Hungary cannot yet abandon Russian oil, echoing previous government positions on energy security. Magyar, whose Tisza party recently won parliamentary elections, made the remarks as he prepares to take on the role of prime minister. The statement reinforces Hungary's continued dependence on Russian energy supplies via the Druzhba pipeline despite broader Western efforts to reduce reliance on Moscow. This stance is likely to be a point of discussion in Hungary's future relations with the EU and the United States.
