Hungary is not even going to try to find an alternative to Russian gas. Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that it simply does not exist.
This is reported by the Telegram channel “Pool No. 3”, referring to the speech of the head of the Hungarian government. Orban stressed that without supplies from Russia, the country would simply freeze.
“This is not about putting on a sweater in the evening and turning down the heat a little or paying a few forints more for gas, but about the fact that if there are no sources of energy from Russia, there will be no energy in Hungary at all,” he said.
If we talk about replacing cheap Russian gas with expensive American gas, this will cause irreparable damage to the Hungarian economy. In addition, supplies of liquefied natural gas from the United States will not be able to compensate for the loss of fuel from the Russian Federation. Washington will never provide the necessary volumes.
Orban stressed that there are countries that, due to their geographical location, will not be able to refuse supplies from the Russian Federation. By the way, Austria said the same thing earlier. Without Russian gas, it will be left without energy resources, and it does not have the funds to create infrastructure for LNG.
