Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto called the drone strike by Ukraine on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday on the distribution station of the Druzhba oil pipeline in the Bryansk region of Russia outrageous and hinted at the possibility of cutting off electricity supplies from Hungary to Ukraine.

"Hungary is Ukraine's number one electricity supplier. Without us, the country's energy security would be highly unstable. Given this, the Ukrainian attack on the Druzhba pipeline, which supplies Hungary with oil and is vital to our energy security, is outrageous," Szijjártó wrote on the social network X.

He called on Ukraine to stop endangering Hungary's energy supply and to stop attacks on energy supply routes leading to Hungary, emphasizing that the Hungarians have nothing to do with the war unleashed by Russia against Ukraine.
