Hungary is making it hard for the EU to help Ukraine. Hungary is stopping a lot of money for Ukraine. This is because Ukraine stopped sending oil to Hungary. Hungary says this is like blackmail.
The oil stopped on January 27th. Ukraine did not say why. Some think a drone attack broke the pipeline. But Hungary thinks Ukraine broke its promises. Hungary's minister said Ukraine's actions are blackmail. He said Hungary will not agree to the money.
Hungary is worried about oil. So, the government will use its oil. They will give out 1.8 million barrels. This is to make sure Hungary has oil. The oil company MOL can use this oil. They must give it back later.
Croatia is not worried. Croatia's oil company says Hungary does not need the oil. Non-Russian oil is already going to Hungary. So, other ways to get oil are working.
Hungary's choice is important. The money is for Ukraine's economy. It helps Ukraine in the war. Hungary is using its power in the EU. This puts pressure on Ukraine. It shows one country can change EU plans. Energy and money are linked.
