Ukraine advised Hungary to send complaints about oil pipeline shutdown to "friends in Moscow"

Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó accused Ukraine of stopping oil product supplies due to an alleged attack on the pipeline, as he wrote in his X-account. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha advised Hungary to send all its complaints and threats to the aggressor country of russia. Sybiha reported this in his X-account on Monday, August 18.

Szijjártó said that Ukraine allegedly attacked the oil pipeline to Hungary, which blocked the supply of products. According to him, the timing of the restoration of the pipeline is currently unknown.

"For 3.5 years, Brussels and Kyiv have been trying to drag Hungary into the war in Ukraine. These repeated Ukrainian attacks on our energy supply serve the same purpose. Let me be clear: this is not our war. We have nothing to do with it, and as long as we are in power, Hungary will stay out of it. Finally, a reminder to Ukrainian leaders: electricity from Hungary plays a vital role in providing your country with electricity," the Hungarian Foreign Minister stressed.

Sybiha addressed Szijjártó and reminded him that it was russia that started the war and refuses to end it.

"Hungarians have been saying for years that Moscow is an unreliable partner. Despite this, Hungary is making every effort to maintain its dependence on russia. Even after the start of a full-scale war. Now you can send your complaints - and threats - to your friends in Moscow," Sybiha emphasized.
