Hungary Threatens to Block EU Funds Over Ukraine's Lukoil Transit Ban

Hungary demands the EU mediate a solution after Ukraine halts Russian oil transit, affecting energy security in Hungary and Slovakia.

Hungary will block €6.5 billion in EU refunds for arms transfers to Ukraine unless the transit ban is lifted.
Ukraine's ban on Lukoil transit has disrupted oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia.
The European Commission has convened a meeting to address the issue, with potential legal action looming.
Hungary's reliance on Russian oil contrasts with the EU's broader shift away from Russian energy.
Ukraine maintains that its sanctions on Lukoil are justified and do not endanger overall oil flow.
