Hungary looking for ways to circumvent US sanctions against russian oil giants - Orban

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that Budapest is actively working to find ways to circumvent US sanctions imposed against russian oil giants, in particular Lukoil and Rosneft. This is reported by Reuters.

Orban also said that he had discussed these sanctions with the Hungarian oil and gas company MOL.

"We are working on how to circumvent these sanctions," the politician said.

At the same time, the Hungarian Prime Minister did not provide any details or signals that he intends to violate the new US sanctions.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the US has imposed new sanctions against leading russian oil companies Rosneft and Lukoil. The restrictions are aimed at increasing economic pressure on the Kremlin due to its war against Ukraine.

Recall, later the White House explained that Trump decided to impose sanctions due to the lack of real steps towards ending the war on the part of russia.

Donald Trump responded to vladimir putin's statement about russia's "immunity" to US sanctions and said that he wants to see this in six months.
