The Ukrainian ambassador was summoned to the Hungarian Foreign Ministry because of Kiev’s position on the Budapest agreement with the Russian Gazprom, RIA Novosti reported.
Let us remind you that yesterday, September 27, Hungary and Gazprom signed a new contract on the supply of 4.5 billion cubic meters of gas per year to Hungary for 15 years. 3.5 billion cubic meters of gas will come through Serbia and 1 billion through Austria.
After that, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said that Kiev was disappointed with Hungary’s decision to sign a new long-term contract with Gazprom to supply gas bypassing Ukraine and believed that it was detrimental to bilateral Ukrainian-Hungarian relations. Kiev announced that it intends to apply to the European Commission because of Hungary’s contract with Russia for the supply of gas bypassing Ukraine.
