US senators push sanctions on Hungary over stalling Ukraine aid
TL;DR Summary
Two US senators introduced a bipartisan Block Putin Act to sanction Hungarian officials tied to procuring Russian oil and gas or obstructing Ukraine aid, with potential visa bans and financial penalties. Sanctions could be lifted if Hungary ends its reliance on Russian energy and stops blocking Ukraine assistance for 180 days. The move comes as Hungary, led by Viktor Orbán, has resisted EU Russia sanctions and opposed EU Ukraine aid measures amid disruptions to the Druzhba pipeline that stress the Hungarian energy system.
