The CEO of the company Ukrtransnafta, which operates the Ukrainian pipeline network, claims that they received information directly from the European Commission, according to which, in view of the Hungarian position, they may even stop the transportation of crude oil to Hungary via the Barátság pipeline . According to consistent press reports, Ursula von der Leyen herself, the president of the European Commission, encouraged the Ukrainians to stop crude oil shipments to Hungary. In response to this, the leaders of Mol stated that they consider the statements to be blackmail and do not wish to negotiate directly with the Ukrainian side. Previously, Volodymyr Zelenskiy wanted to blow up the pipeline, destroying Hungarian industry and people.
Mandiner learned . According to the newspaper's information, the Ukrainian side approached MOL in the past few days with the intention of raising the transit fee for raw materials sent to our country via the Barátság pipeline in two steps. Ukrtransnafta, the company responsible for operating the Ukrainian pipeline network, and MOL are constantly negotiating the level of the relevant fees.
Recently, however, the negotiations took a turn, when the management of Ukrtransnafta informed the Hungarian company that Ukraine considers the restrictions on Ukrainian agricultural products too strict and the Hungarian position too rigid. Mandiner understands that Ukraine received the message from Ursula von Der Leyen that if our country decides to continue the measures protecting Hungarian farmers,
feel free to stop the transportation of crude oil on the Barátság pipeline to Hungary.
At the same time, they also indicated their intention to negotiate.
Origo's , MOL's leaders clearly consider the above as blackmail, which is why they do not want to hold direct negotiations with the Ukrainian side, since then they would leave room for further blackmail.
MOL reported the Ukrainian blackmail attempt in a letter to Péter Szijjártó Minister of Foreign Trade and Foreign Affairs on Tuesday, and they also contacted the Hungarian ambassador in Kyiv to take action on the matter, who promised to try to take action.

Zelensky wanted to blow up the wire
As we previously reported, there was a serious reaction to the information from the intelligence circles of the American Washington Post that
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi was thinking in private about blowing up the Friendship pipeline that supplies Hungary.
The background to the case is that in mid-April, five EU member states, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania, asked the European Commission to take action on the issue of Ukrainian grain entering Europe duty-free and causing damage to local farmers. With the exception of Romania, the aforementioned countries unilaterally introduced an import ban on Ukrainian agricultural products. The committee then adopted measures affecting four agricultural products originating in Ukraine: wheat, maize, rapeseed and sunflower seed. The measures entered into force on May 2. During this period, the four listed products can still be freely marketed in all EU member states, except for the five member states most affected by the lifting of import restrictions. However, within the framework of a joint transit procedure, the products can still be distributed within these five member states or pass through them, reminds Magyar Nemzet.
According to the paper, Volodymyr Zelenskiy is constantly using the key pipeline for Hungary for blackmail, and the Ukrainian president even previously talked about blowing it up. Citing leaked secret service documents, The Washington Post wrote: this is how the Ukrainian president wanted to destroy the Hungarian industry based on Russian oil and punish the Hungarian government. The Ukrainian leadership has threatened the Friendship pipeline on other occasions. Last spring, Olena Zerkal, an adviser to the Ukrainian Minister of Energy, talked about the possibility that something might happen to the pipeline.
It is important to note that when the Nord Stream gas pipeline was attacked last year, everyone classified the incident as a terrorist attack.
Zoltán Kovács, the state secretary responsible for international communications and relations, responded to The Washington Post's reports on his Twitter page. How is it possible that Ukraine is organizing against a NATO country? he asked the question.
Ursula von der Leyen reacted rather strangely when the public media asked her what she thought of Volodymyr Zelensky's bombing plan. The chairman of the committee stated that
he had not heard of the case.
The Brussels correspondent of the public media asked Ursula von der Leyen, the chairman of the committee first spread his arms, then hit the pulpit and did not answer. The Brussels bureaucrat in charge of the press conference interrupted the Hungarian journalist.
It is hard to believe that the leadership of the union did not know about the Ukrainian president's bombing plans, since they were leaked from the United States - this is what the adviser of the Center for Fundamental Rights said on Kossuth Radio. According to József Horváth, Volodymyr Zelenskyi gets carried away more and more often and makes dangerous statements.
