"Ukrainian drone and rocket strikes on the Druzhba pipeline in Russia last Friday disrupted Hungary's oil supply from Russia. Right after last week's attack on the pipeline, Hungary's ruling Fidesz party went on the offensive rhetorically. Leading Hungarian politicians called the bombing of Russia's energy infrastructure "a military attack against the European Union" and "a threat to Europe's energy security.""
"In a further escalation, Hungary on Thursday issued an entry ban against Robert Brovdi, the Ukrainian commander who coordinated and supervised the attack on the Russian pipeline. Brovdi is an ethnic Hungarian Ukrainian citizen. Ukraine has been targeting energy infrastructure within Russia, such as this oil-pumping station in Bryansk region, in recent monthsImage: MAGYARBIRDS/REUTERS Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded to the news by saying it was another attempt "to shift the blame for the ongoing war onto Ukraine.""
Ukrainian drone and rocket strikes on the Druzhba pipeline in Russia disrupted Hungary's oil supply from Russia and provoked strong reactions from Hungary's ruling party and senior politicians. Hungarian officials described the bombing as a military attack on the EU and a threat to Europe's energy security, and U.S. President Donald Trump publicly expressed anger. Oil flow resumed on Thursday, but bilateral relations remain tense. Hungary issued an entry ban on Robert Brovdi, an ethnic Hungarian Ukrainian commander linked to the operation. Ukraine's president rejected blame-shifting, while analysts say the strikes aim to undermine Russia's fossil-fuel revenues rather than specifically target Hungary.
