- 29 Sep 2021 6:39 AM
After Hungary signed a new 15-year natural-gas supply deal with Russia's state-controlled energy giant Gazprom Monday,... the move was immediately criticized by Ukraine,... who called the supply deal "purely political" and "economically unreasonable".
Ukraine's Foreign Ministry added that the deal would have “a significant impact on energy security of Ukraine and Europe",.. while calling on the European Commission to assess whether the deal respected European energy legislation.
However,... Hungary's foreign minister slapped back,... saying the gas deal should not concern "third parties".
