US senators target Hungary with sanctions bill over Russian energy ties and Ukraine obstruction 😔

Cikk tartalma röviden

A bipartisan group of US senators has proposed the Block Putin Act to sanction Hungarian officials linked to Russian energy purchases and obstructing aid to Ukraine. The bill, sponsored by Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Thom Tillis, would impose a visa ban on these officials. Hungary, under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, is criticized for blocking EU aid to Ukraine and increasing Russian oil and gas purchases. Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó faces backlash for sharing sensitive information with Russia. The bill allows for sanctions to be lifted if Hungary reduces its Russian energy dependence and stops obstructing aid to Ukraine.
