Report: Hungary using more Russian oil, despite EU phase out
A report by the Center for the Study of Democracy indicates that Hungary has increased its dependence on Russian oil to 93% of imports in 2025, up from 61% in 2021, despite EU efforts to phase out Russian fossil fuels. The report highlights Hungary's use of legal exemptions and discounted prices, benefiting state oil company MOL but not consumers.
