Hungary continues to defy NATO and U.S. pressure by maintaining its imports of Russian oil and natural gas, despite warnings from former U.S. President Donald Trump that halting Russian energy could end the war in Ukraine. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán called any cuts an economic “disaster,” claiming Hungary’s economy would immediately drop by 4%. While other European countries have managed to wean off Russian energy, Hungary cites geographical and infrastructural constraints, emphasizing national sovereignty and tight ties with Russia.
