Hungary's foreign minister summoned Ukraine's ambassador on Tuesday over what he said was Ukraine's attempts to block Hungary's new long-term gas supply deal with Russia, which was signed on Monday.

Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in a statement that this amounted to a "violation of Hungary's sovereignty".

Hungary accused Ukraine of meddling in its internal affairs on Monday after Kyiv criticised it over the signing of a new 15-year natural gas supply deal with Russia's Gazprom GAZP.MM.
