Hungary may stop exporting electricity to Ukraine due to the halt of oil transit by Russian Lukoil, said Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó.
Szijjártó mentioned that Hungary has initiated consultations with the European Union regarding the situation. He highlighted that Ukraine's decision to sanction Lukoil, resulting in the suspension of oil transit, "fundamentally threatens the security of energy supply to Hungary and Slovakia."
"This is an unacceptable step on the part of Ukraine, a country that wants to be a member of the European Union, which with one decision puts the supply of oil to two EU member states at a fundamental risk. Such a decision by Ukraine is a clear violation of the Association Agreement," Szijjártó stated.

🇵🇱 Poland Calls to Lift Restrictions on Ukrainian Attacks on Russian Airfields to Protect Children's Hospitals
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has urged European countries to allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to use long-range missiles to attack Russian airfields. Sikorski emphasized that protecting children's hospitals, including oncology facilities, should not be seen as an escalation of the conflict.
"I believe that this will certainly be self-defense, which is permitted by international law. The protection of children's oncology hospitals is not an escalation," Sikorski stated.

Two years ago today, Ukraine signed a grain agreement with Russia. The deal was supposed to ensure the safety of commercial shipping in the Black Sea. But Russia broke it. The Kremlin’s aim has always been to disrupt Ukraine’s economy, to gain advantage on the world market by selling its own grain, and to weaponize grain to pressure the West and threaten vulnerable countries.
The report, published by the international human rights law foundation Global Rights Compliance, has revealed evidence of pre-planning by Russia to loot and weaponize over $1 billion of Ukrainian grain a year to fund its war effort and fuel global food insecurity.
Ukraine has found another route to transport grain. As a result, its exports have almost returned to pre-war levels.
