Budapest (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – Hungary’s Russian crude oil supplies were interrupted after Ukraine targeted a transformer station on the Druzhba pipeline. The pipeline, which passes through Belarus and Ukraine to reach Hungary and Slovakia, was affected, according to Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto on Monday.
Unlike many other EU nations, Hungary has maintained its dependence on Russian energy following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. The country primarily imports its crude oil through the Druzhba pipeline.
Hungarian Foreign Minister stated that he discussed with Russian Deputy Energy Minister Pavel Sorokin, who informed him that experts are working to restore the transformer station. Still, it is uncertain when supplies will restart.
“Ukraine has once again attacked the oil pipeline leading to Hungary, cutting off supplies. This latest strike against our energy security is outrageous and unacceptable!”
Szijjarto wrote.
How did Ukraine respond to Hungary’s accusation of an attack?
Foreign Minister of Ukraine, Andrii Sybiha, neither verified nor repudiated the report of the strike, but he noted on X that Hungary “can now send complaints” to Russia, not Ukraine.
“It is Russia, not Ukraine, that began this war and refuses to end it. Hungary has been told for years that Moscow is an unreliable partner. Despite this, Hungary has made every effort to maintain its reliance on Russia,”
Sybiha said.
