"On 17th of October, it was decided that the EU will start a training mission. The representatives of the EU countries will carry out the training of the Ukrainian military. I would like to state that Hungary didn’t vote for this initiative. We won’t take part in this mission" - Peter Szijjártó stated and explained that Hungary is the only EU country that has taken such a position, since Hungary doesn’t support the steps, leading to an escalation of the conflict.

"While the sale has provided some relief to the European buyers - the rapid restocking and record shipping costs have also reduced the appeal of re-delivery of the fuel" - the Bloomberg added while citing their sources. "The Chinese move to secure its own supplies could cut the supplies to Europe and escalate the regional energy crisis in case of a cold winter. China has large contracts to buy the LNG from several exporters, including the USA. In 2022, the Asian traders began to divert some of these supplies to Europe due to the sluggish demand inside China" - the TASS reported. Constantine Reztsov, specially for the ANNA NEWS.
