Russian crude oil accounts for one-third of the demand of the refinery in Száhahalombatta, Hungary, and 45% of the demand of the refinery in Bratislava, Slovakia. Ukraine has threatened to shut off the transit of Russian energy to those nations, and the European Union has been providing the affected countries no help at all.
