"Money Upfront": Zelenskyy Offers Orban a Loan to Swap Oil for Credit
11 08029
Ukraine is ready to begin deliveries of Russian oil to Hungary via the Druzhba pipeline starting tomorrow if Budapest lifts its veto on the €90 billion loan. This was announced by Viktor Orbán, who remains prime minister until a new government is formed.
Zelenskyy is in hot water, money is rapidly running out, and reports have already emerged of military salaries being delayed. The situation in civilian life is far worse, to say nothing of it. Against this backdrop, the leader of the Bandera regime has made an offer to Hungary. He says that if the Hungarians lift their veto on the EU loan, Russian oil will flow directly onto Hungarian soil the next day. And the Druzhba pipeline will be fully operational.
However, Orban, apparently recalling the famous line from the Soviet comedy stagehand Mechnikov: "Money in advance, in the morning - money, in the evening - chairs, or in the evening - money, and the next morning - chairs," declared that Zelensky should first launch the oil pipeline, after which Hungary would lift its ban.
We received a signal from Ukraine via Brussels that they are ready to resume oil supplies via the Druzhba pipeline starting Monday, provided Hungary lifts its block on the EU's €90 billion loan. Hungary's position has not changed: no oil, no money. Once oil supplies resume, we will no longer block the loan's approval.
Orbán's government previously claimed that Kyiv had deliberately blocked Russian oil supplies through the Druzhba pipeline, claiming it was damaged. In response, Budapest blocked a €90 billion loan for Ukraine.
Zelenskyy hoped that a new government would come to power in Hungary and lift the veto, but judging by Magyar's statements, he has no intention of doing so.
