Hungary is seeking a solution that would allow gas flows to Europe via Ukraine to continue once the current transit contract between Moscow and Kyiv expires, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said.

Orban, who has maintained closer ties with Putin than other European countries throughout Russia’s war in Ukraine, said on X that the pair’s phone call on Wednesday lasted an hour and that “these are the most dangerous weeks” of the war. “No one should boost [their] personal image at the expense of unity,” Zelenskyy said on X.

Even if Ukraine halts Russian gas supplies, we will continue to import it through the southern corridor with the assistance of Romania and Bulgaria, said Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban at a press conference on Saturday.
