Szijjarto: Ukraine’s attack on the oil pipeline to Hungary is unacceptable
Budapest, August 27 (Hibya) – Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto stated that Ukraine’s recent missile and drone attack on the Druzhba oil pipeline has endangered energy security.
Hungarian Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister Szijjarto announced that Ukraine’s recent missile and drone attack on the Druzhba pipeline caused serious damage.
Szijjarto said: “The attacks were so severe that repairs will take days. Thanks to intensive efforts, a temporary solution was found; from tomorrow, oil deliveries to Hungary will resume in test mode, with a reduced volume.”
He noted that Hungary’s commercial reserves are currently sufficient and that there is no need to use strategic reserves, while condemning some Hungarian politicians and media for defending the attack, as well as the European Commission’s statement that there is “no supply risk.”
The Hungarian minister called on Ukraine: “Stop attacking the oil pipeline to Hungary and do not endanger our energy security.”
