Hungarian Foreign Minister came to Moscow to discuss the purchase of hundreds of millions of cubic meters of Russian gas, in the context of the lack of winter supply.

To ensure the security of Hungary's energy supply, the Government decided to buy an additional 700 million m3 of natural gas in addition to the number specified in long -term contracts, the Hungarian ruling party announced on Facebook on Facebook on the day

This amount accounts for about 6.7% of Hungary's natural gas consumed in 2020, according to data from the country's natural gas pipeline operator FGSZ.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto announced on Twitter that he went to Moscow to negotiate the purchase of more gas.

Hungary depends heavily on fossil fuels from Russia and last year signed a 15 -year agreement with Russian Energy Group Gazprom to buy natural gas.

Hungary last week issued an emergency of energy to cope with interrupting supply and soared energy prices in Europe.

It is likely that there will be no enough gas to heat in Europe for autumn and winter, Gergely Gulyas, Chief of the Hungarian Prime Minister's office, said when announcing the emergency.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, the most supporter of Russia of the 27 European Union members (EU), said on July 15 that Europe shot himself in the lungs when imposing sanctions for Russia for military campaigns for military campaigns.

More than 4 months after Russia launched a special military campaign in Ukraine, the soared energy price slightly reduced the impact of the Western sanctions on the country.

On July 14, the European Commission adjusted the forecast of this year's growth of the euro area to 2.6%, lower than 2.7% they launched in May.

Russia wants to use gas power to warn Europe not to interfere with Ukraine conflicts, but Moscow itself must be inspired.

Cooperation with Russia plays an important role in Japanese energy security, but Tokyo is facing a great pressure to give up this oil and gas source.
