Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitro Kuleba reaffirmed their mutual intention to improve bilateral relations at Monday’s talks. On the community page of Péter Szijjártó, he wrote: the task will not be easy, but they are confident that 2022 will be a better year for Hungarian-Ukrainian relations than this year was.

In his entry, the Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade wrote that a great deal of work has been done in recent years to secure Hungary’s energy supply and increase Hungary’s role in security of supply in Central Europe.

We now have gas pipeline connections from seven of our neighbors, and the number of electricity connections will soon increase further

Péter Szijjártó noted that Hungary has become an increasingly important transit country for natural gas transmission:

Last year and again, most of our gas was transported to Ukraine from us via the west

he wrote on his community page.

Based on the technical agreement of the system operators, gas transmission from Hungary to Ukraine will have maximum capacity in the first three months of 2022.

With this, market companies will receive a total of 700 million cubic meters of gas to trade between January and March.

The politician added that they had confirmed their mutual intention to improve bilateral relations with Dmitro Kuleba, which, as he wrote, will not be an easy task, but they are confident that 2022 will be a better year for Hungarian-Ukrainian relations than this year.
