Szijjardo stated that the European Commission had made four guarantees to ensure Hungary’s energy security on January 27th, but currently, two of them have been broken. In the letter, Szijjardo stated that firstly, the EU promised that Hungary would participate in negotiations to restore the transit of natural gas from Ukraine, despite the Hungarian government’s repeated demands, which were ultimately excluded from the negotiations; Secondly, the European Commission guarantees that Ukraine will not attack the energy infrastructure leading to the European Union. However, Ukraine launched a drone attack on the infrastructure of “Türkiye Creek” in Russia on the evening of February 28. For Hungary, the security of the “Türkiye Stream” is crucial. Syyardo stated that Ukraine, as a candidate country for the European Union, has violated its commitments and taken actions that threaten the energy security of some EU member states, which is unacceptable. Furthermore, it is unacceptable for the European Commission to represent the interests of candidate countries instead of representing the interests of EU member states.
