you need more gas
Szijjarto at a meeting in Moscow reportedBudapest wants to buy additional volumes of gas from Moscow. He noted that Hungary has taken measures to receive additional volumes of gas through the southern direction and the interconnection on the border with Austria and Slovakia.
“Without Russian resources, it is absolutely impossible to buy such a large amount of additional gas in Europe. That’s why we in Hungary took all the necessary measures to be able to buy an additional amount of gas, that is, 20 million cubic meters every day,” he said.
Lavrov said Moscow would immediately consider Budapest’s request for additional gas supplies.
Peaceful Atom of Hungary
The parties also discussed the Paks nuclear power plant project. The Foreign Ministers decided to continue work on the expansion of the Hungarian nuclear power plant.
“We reaffirmed our common intention to continue normal work on the expansion of the Paks nuclear power plant with the help of the state agency Rosatom,” Lavrov said after negotiations with Szijjártó.
war in the EU
Lavrov also said that the European bureaucracy wants to dictate the terms in the EU and subjugate the national governments of the member states. In the association, he noted that there was a struggle between him and the states around the powers of Brussels.
“On the other hand, of course, member states want to understand how much force the European bureaucracy uses for the benefit of member states, how much power is a bit of anxiety and abuse. This is an internal matter of the European Union,” says Lavrov.
Special ops, AB and Poroshenko
In addition, Lavrov drew Szijjarto’s attention to the reaction of the European states to the statement of the former president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, who previously declared that he did not want to comply with the Minsk agreements. In response to Poroshenko’s confession, Lavrov appealed to European leaders for embarrassing silence.
“Recently, Poroshenko said: I signed them, but I was not going to fulfill them, we needed to buy time to stock up with modern weapons. Frankly, sarcastically. And just as the European Union then quietly succumbed to the sabotage of the Minsk agreements by Kyiv, no one even reacted to Poroshenko’s frank admission. I think this is a shame for serious states that want to deal with the serious problems of all their foreign policy. The Russian minister said.
Lavrov once again reminded Ukraine of the danger of pumping Western weapons. In his opinion, the actions of Russia are due to the fact that the West at a certain stage will understand the adverse effect and danger of supplying arms to Kiev.
“We are driven by the fact that our Western neighbors will at some stage understand the absolute harm and danger of pumping Ukraine with modern weapons, encouraging the Ukrainian regime to continue its insane armed attacks on civilians and its own citizens,” Lavrov said. said..
Big Brother from Washington
Moreover, Lavrov believes that life will force EU countries to look at the situation in Ukraine with an open mind. He believes that sooner or later the EU will have to deal with its own problems.
Prejudice now dominates the positions of Brussels and Washington and most European capitals. I hope life makes you see the truth [на Украине] “Abandon the artificially invented tactics and strategies of conflict and still deal with European problems impartially,” he said.
He believes that the EU’s actions are led by the US, and this fact regrets it. Lavrov expressed his support for countries that insist on a sovereign policy and do not want to lose their national interests, identity, culture and religion.
“It is sad to see how the EU has followed the path that the US collective West stated that it should unite: Not a step back, not a step to the right or to the left, but just forward, where the senior comrade points. To overcome the current difficulties. “Nobody cares about crises,” he said.
