The entire European Union will return to buying Russian gas, because it is cheaper.

Axar.az reports that this was told by Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar in an interview with Polish daily Rzeczpospolita.

"I think that when the war ends, the entire European Union will return to buying Russian gas, because it is cheaper. This is dictated by competitiveness, geography. Simply. But gentlemen, you will see for yourselves. I cannot predict everything, but this is my feeling," he said.

Magyar said his mandate from Hungarian voters is to maximize diversification of energy sources, with focus on supply security and price.

"Liquefied natural gas, which is pumped through the Baltic Sea, through Poland and Slovakia, is significantly more expensive than gas imported from Romania, Russia, or Austria," he added.

According to Magyar, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk promised to do everything possible to lower LNG prices.
