Hungary is seeking a solution that would allow gas flows to Europe via Ukraine to continue once the current transit contract between Moscow and Kyiv expires, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said.
“We have not given up on our Ukraine transit plans,” Orban said at a press conference in Budapest on Saturday. Further talks are still planned with both Russia and Ukraine to let the transit extend beyond 2024, he said.
