Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has called on Brussels to drop its plans to ban the import of Russian energy.

In a Facebook post, the prime minister said the conflict between Iran and Israel would further increase energy prices in Europe, while “Brussels would be shooting European industry in the foot” by banning Russian energy.

“Enough of Brussels’s warlike logic!” PM Orbán said, adding that the government will represent the interests of the Hungarian people at Thursday’s EU summit.
