Cut how? What happens if Hungary and Slovakia refuse to cut off Russian energy imports?

Thing is, they can't.

The RePowerEU would render the existing contracts null and void (which also allows all parties to get out of the contracts without having to pay any fines due to "Force Majeure") AND forbids negotiating new contracts with Russia, so they really have no say in it.

Idk...I still don't understand what prevents them, that would be enough for reasonable countries but Orban isn't reasonable...EU can say "You can't do that" but what is stopping Orban from just...Doing it? Will EU issue massive fines? Will they actually punish Hungary?

What's stopping Hungary from still bringing in gas from the Turkstream pipeline? Will Bulgaria physically be turning it off?
