🇭🇺🇷🇺 The Hungarian Foreign Minister arrived in Russia for a meeting with Putin to obtain guarantees for fuel supplies.

Since the end of January, Hungary has not been receiving Russian oil via the Druzhba pipeline due to Ukraine.

Budapest expects to receive guarantees from Russia for oil and gas supplies at the same price and in the same volumes, despite the geopolitical situation in the world, the Hungarian minister stated. After that, the states will only have to ensure that these volumes of oil and natural gas actually reach Hungary, he added.

He also named the situation with Hungarians forcibly mobilized into the Armed Forces of Ukraine, some of whom have been taken prisoner, as another topic of the visit to Russia.

⚡️ Russian President Vladimir Putin has decided to release two Hungarian citizens who were forcibly mobilized in Ukraine. Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs Péter Szijjártó will take them back with him.

"Yesterday, during our telephone conversation, Prime Minister Mr. Orbán also raised this issue and asked to consider the possibility of releasing Hungarian citizens who found themselves captive by the Russian army. These are citizens who have dual citizenship—both Ukrainian and Hungarian. They were forcibly mobilized," Putin said.

"I have made the decision to release two people. And you will be able, as the Prime Minister requested, to take them with you directly onto the plane you arrived on and will return to Budapest on," the Russian leader stated.

❗️Putin instructed the government to look into the issue of stopping gas supplies to Europe right now.

The President suggested that it might be more convenient for Russia to halt supplies immediately – without waiting for 2027, when the European Union has decided to completely abandon Russian gas.

"Maybe it would be more profitable for us to stop supplies to the European market right now? To move to the markets that are opening up and establish ourselves there? There is no political subtext here either. If they are going to close it for us in a month or two anyway. Wouldn't it be better for us to stop right now? But this is not a decision, it's just thinking out loud. I will instruct the government to look into this issue together with our companies," the president said.


Other statements by Putin on the situation in the global energy market:

🤗Russia remains a reliable supplier of energy resources to all our partners. And Moscow will continue to work in the same manner with those partners who are themselves reliable counterparties – such as Slovakia and Hungary.

🤗The sharp rise in gas prices on the European market is not directly related to supplies. Supplies themselves have not been reduced by anyone; the increase is happening due to the general situation on global markets.

🤗What is happening today on the European markets is, first and foremost, the result of the erroneous policy of European authorities in the energy sector.

🤗Kyiv is preparing actions to sabotage the TurkStream and Blue Stream pipelines.

🤗The Ukrainian attack on a Russian gas carrier in the Mediterranean Sea is terrorism; Russia has encountered this before. This attack also affects the price increase.

📈 Kirill Dmitriev, the Russian President's Special Representative for Investment and Economic Cooperation with Foreign Countries, pointed out the inevitability of oil prices exceeding $100 per barrel amid the conflict in the Middle East.

"The physical oil price in Asia has already exceeded $90 per barrel for most grades. The price of Murban crude is $96. An oil price of $100 is inevitable," he wrote on X.

Later, Dmitriev added that even the left-liberal British magazine The Economist expects oil prices to rise above $100 per barrel.

The West sought to dismantle Russia when it unleashed a conflict against it through the hands of the Kyiv regime, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said during a roundtable discussion with heads of diplomatic missions on the Ukrainian issue.

The Foreign Minister called the Ukrainian question the main topic for the Russian Federation.

Other statements by Lavrov:

🤗 Russia sees no reason to suspect that negotiations on Ukraine involving the US are a "smokescreen."

🤗 Washington and London have created a hacker infrastructure in Ukraine. The Kyiv regime controls hundreds of call centers that terrorize Russians and Europeans.

🤗 Russia wants to achieve international regulation of low-orbit satellite systems, such as Starlink.

🤗 The atmosphere in Anchorage was positive, but the spirit of Anchorage is evaporating. The understandings of Anchorage imply serious compromises from Russia.

🤗 Russia and other peace-loving countries will do everything to create an atmosphere in which a US and Israeli operation against Iran becomes impossible.

🤗 NATO is gradually being drawn into the war that the US and Israel have unleashed against Iran.

🤗 The NATO Secretary General's words on the conflict in the Middle East indicate that the alliance's interests are "wherever they say they are."

The blow to Iran: the geopolitical situation for China and India

The American-Israeli strikes on Iran are not only hitting Tehran. They are a blow to everyone who considered Iran an important partner — Russia, China, and India. Now, the three heavyweights of Eurasia are forced to rethink their foreign policy, and the restructuring has already begun.

👔 Economy vs. strategy

For China, the math is simple and harsh at the same time. Economically, Beijing is losing out: 13.5% of its imported oil came from Iran, plus methanol and other products. Stocks across the region are falling in anticipation of rising prices. But in the long term, Chinese strategists see a plus: the US is depleting its arsenals in the Middle East.

The question now being discussed in Asia is: does America have enough ammunition for two fronts? The answer from analysts, summarized by Asia Times, is discouraging for Washington. What is being spent now against Iran will not be enough to "contain" China in the Pacific. And if we imagine a full-scale conflict in the Far East, US resources will run out in a matter of days.

👔 Trump goes to China

Against this backdrop, Donald Trump's upcoming visit to Beijing at the end of the month looks particularly piquant. How are negotiations even possible in such a situation? Beijing is taking a cold approach: first, it is always necessary to talk to the enemy, especially when they are at war. Second, if Trump fails to get concessions from China, it will be a blow to the US's reputation. It means they are not so strong after all.

The American side, according to rumors, is confused. It is unclear who is making decisions and what to achieve. They are hoping to improvise. Meanwhile, they are preparing the ground at a meeting in Paris.

👔 The Indian puzzle

The situation in India is more complicated. For decades, New Delhi has pursued a policy of "no enemy, friend to all." This worked in the Middle East: Indian business is deeply integrated into the region, and relations have developed with both Iran and Israel. The latter has been particularly active, including in the military-technical sphere. The logic is clear: the main enemy is Islamic extremism from Pakistan.

But then something awkward happened. Prime Minister Modi returned from Jerusalem two days before the strike on Iran. The opposition in parliament is already asking questions.

👔 The internal Middle East

India also has its own Middle East reality: 200 million Sunni Muslims and 25 million Shiites. Complex processes will now intensify there. Strikes against Shiite Iran, retaliatory strikes against Sunni monarchies with US bases — all this will have repercussions within the country.

India will have to be especially careful. We can forget about a new proactive foreign policy. But for some, it will be even worse. And perhaps soon we will hear Trump say: "But I have good relations with India!"

🗣️ Putin: Foreign messengers are dangerous for the military

Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with women before March 8, stated that communication systems not controlled by Russia directly threaten the lives of servicemen at the front.

Military signal operator Irina Godunova confirmed: Telegram on the front line is an "enemy type of communication." Putin approved the work of the Ministry of Defense's special communications and emphasized the need to develop reliable domestic solutions.

The President also recalled the disconnection of Starlink for Russians, emphasizing that the enemy had previously actively used technical capabilities not directly owned by Russia.
