RUSSIAN NUCLEAR FOR EUROPE

N - May 28, 2025 - Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, in a Ministry statement on his Facebook page, said European Commission plans to ban the purchase of nuclear fuel elements from Russia “would have tragic consequences not only for Hungary but for the whole of the European energy market, too”. He added that prices would sky-rocket and have a deleterious effect on Europe’s economy.
“Today, Europeans pay two to three times more for electricity and four to five times more for natural gas than their counterparts in the United States or China,” he said. “Obviously you can’t build a competitive economy this way…. But there’s still a chance to prevent these Brussels plans” by responding to the government’s Vote 2025 survey on the question of Ukraine’s EU accession, he said. “It’s time to stop this Brussels plan to support Ukraine while increasing the utility bills of Hungarian families several times over,” he added. He noted that several central European countries have nuclear plants that use Russian technology and operate exclusively with Russian-made fuel elements.
