Budapest argues it’s facing an energy crunch after Kyiv imposed a partial ban on Moscow’s oil transiting the country.

Hungary on Monday said it had asked the European Union to take action against Ukraine for imposing a partial ban on Russian oil exports, arguing the move was jeopardizing Budapest’s energy security.

Kyiv last month adopted sanctions blocking the transit to Central Europe of pipeline crude sold by Moscow’s largest private oil firm, Lukoil, sparking fears of supply shortages in Budapest. Hungary relies on Moscow for 70 percent of its oil imports — and on Lukoil for half that amount.

“Ukraine's decision fundamentally threatens the security of supply in Hungary,” the country’s Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said Monday at a meeting of EU envoys in Brussels. “This is an unacceptable step on the part of Ukraine, a country that wants to be a member of the European Union, and with a single decision puts the oil supply …. in fundamental danger.”

Use Megamind's cranium to reflect the sun onto solar panels.

Hungarians call him the Cockatoo.

Come to think of it, the English translation of that is quite funny, as it is an open secret he has a gay lover that lives together with his family.

Cock-a-too. Giggle.

Hah wait, what? He’s a hyperconservative russophile authoritarian populist… closet case…? First I’ve heard it, but that’s hilarious if true.

Celebrating Christmas close together with family, wife and kids. And this one young ex-sportsman dude that's somehow in all family pictures now (on his own social media no less).

People were quick to point out that only the wife was wearing shoes indoors, almost as if she only was a guest for the picture.

Edit: Just to be clear, I don't care he's apparently spending a lot of time with a dude any more than I'd care if he was spending it with a younger gal. It's just fucked up in the context of everything.
