Hungary’s prime minister lobbied for larger shipments of Russian natural gas Tuesday during a meeting with President Vladimir Putin in Moscow amid high tensions over Russia's buildup of troops along Ukraine s borders.
During a news conference following their meeting in the Kremlin, Hungary's right-wing nationalist leader Viktor Orban said he had requested the expansion of Hungary's 15-year gas contract with Russian energy company Gazprom to ensure larger-volume deliveries amid ballooning energy prices in Europe.
