Orbán Urges EU to Lift Sanctions on Russian Oil Amid Rising Prices Budapest, Hungary – Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has called for the European Union to reconsider sanctions against Russian oil and gas, arguing that the measures are contributing to escalating global energy prices. The appeal follows recent events involving retaliatory attacks by Iran against oil-producing nations in the Persian Gulf. Speaking on Monday, Orbán stated that the EU should halt sanctions on Russian oil to address the sharp increases in prices driven by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. These price rises have now surpassed $100 per barrel for crude oil, a level not seen since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Meanwhile, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin indicated a willingness to continue supplying oil to European markets. Putin’s statement reflects a potential avenue for addressing the supply disruption caused by the conflict. The situation is further complicated by Iran’s recent attacks targeting countries involved in oil production, which has added to market volatility and increased concerns about supply. The focus remains on mitigating the impact of these events on European energy markets and the broader global economy. Topics: #oil #putin #russian Post navigation PRIIT HÕBEMÄGI⟩Where was I?
