Ukraine is blackmailing Hungary and Slovakia with a halt to oil deliveries, an aide to the Hungarian prime minister said on Friday, after the countries stopped receiving oil from Russian group Lukoil.
"Ukraine is blackmailing the two countries that are standing for peace and ceasefire," Gergely Gulyas told a news conference. "If the situation is not resolved, there will be a fuel shortage... a solution must be found by September."
