As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on March 5, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy threatened Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban with the Armed Forces due to his country's blocking of EUR 90 billion for Ukraine.
On March 3, Orban appealed to the European Commission with a demand to influence Ukraine to resume oil transit, which stopped at the end of January due to damage to the infrastructure as a result of russian shelling.
