Starmer and EU HUMILIATED as Viktor Orban BLOCKS fuel supplies to Ukraine as Trump DIVIDES EU

In a dramatic escalation of tensions, Viktor Orbán and Slovakia have halted diesel deliveries to Ukraine, accusing Volodymyr Zelenskyy of cutting off Russian oil supplies via the Druzhba pipeline. Ukraine says Russian attacks caused the disruption, while Hungary insists the move was politically motivated. Hungary and Slovakia are the only EU member states still receiving significant direct fuel supplies from Russia following the invasion of Ukraine, having secured temporary exemptions from the EU ban on Russian energy imports. Now, with oil flows interrupted since 27 January, Budapest and Bratislava argue their energy security — and economic stability — are under threat. Hungary attempted to reroute supplies through Croatia, but Croatian officials rejected the move, stating there are no technical excuses for EU countries to remain dependent on Russian crude. Meanwhile, the European Commission says oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia are not at risk due to sufficient reserves. This dispute comes at a critical political moment. Orbán is seeking re-election to a fifth term, campaigning heavily on national sovereignty and resisting EU interference. He has framed the energy dispute as part of a broader struggle between Hungary and Brussels — and now Ukraine. Adding an international dimension, Donald Trump has endorsed Orbán’s re-election bid, an unusual intervention in European politics. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio cited Orbán’s personal relationship with Trump as key to Hungary’s preferential treatment. The move is likely to be viewed unfavourably by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who has recently signalled a desire to strengthen Britain’s ties with the European Union. This video covers what could grow to be a major geopolitical divide between the UK and the US - as the UK supports the position of Brussels, and Donald Trump throws his support behind Orban. #donaldtrump #keirstarmer #viktororban #zelensky #freespeech By Nicholas Dunning Keep up to date with GB News at gbnews.com or on X @GBNEWS Become a Friend of GB News: gbnews.com/friend
