The European Commission has publicly urged both Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to immediately "dial down" their "inflammatory rhetoric" over the Druzhba pipeline, which has pitted the two leaders in a head-to-head confrontation without precedent.
In response to the halt in oil supplies, Orbán has vetoed a €90 billion loan to Ukraine that the 27 EU leaders had signed off on in December.
