"Western Europe is heading for an 'energy collapse.'" "Russia Today" (RT) TV reported on this topic on the 29th that Hungarian Foreign Minister Siyaldo warned Western European countries on the same day, criticizing the policy of some European countries to reject Russian energy, saying that unlike oil and gas, ideological beliefs will not make Europeans feel warm this winter.
Siyaldo reportedly warned that Western Europe's policy of rejecting Russian energy could lead to a systemic collapse even in the absence of suitable alternative energy sources because the public had no heating this winter.
"All these statements from Western European countries ... At the dawn of winter, neither will play a role in solving the problem of energy supply," the report said, Siyaldo said at a meeting of diplomats in the country on the 29th, "these ideological, political, and communication statements that are effectively supported by the international media can easily inflate balloons to blind people's eyes."
However, he added that Hungary would not consider sanctioning Russian energy, as would some other countries, but they would not speak out and quietly support it.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in February this year, the United States joined forces with Western countries to impose sanctions on Russia. The Hungarian side has repeatedly expressed its opposition to this. In July, Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán said that Western sanctions against Russia had failed to destabilize Russia, but had a counter-effect on the EU itself, seriously damaging the Economy of European countries.
On the 27th of this month, Hungarian Foreign Minister Siardo gave a speech at a forum in Hungary, reiterating Hungary's position against energy sanctions against Russia. He said Hungary was "not even willing to negotiate on any energy sanctions against Russia, whether oil or gas." He said at the time that Hungary was not alone within the EUROPEAN Union in opposing energy sanctions against Russia.
