Hungary politicises issue of Druzhba repair, puts forward demands to Ukraine, which is absurd in our view – MFA’s spokesperson
Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhiy Tykhyi stated that Ukraine has not heard any condemnation from Hungary regarding the damage to the Druzhba oil pipeline as a result of the Russian strike.
"So Hungary politicises this issue, makes it a political point, and puts forward demands to Ukraine, which is absurd in our view. Ukraine faces large-scale terror, air terror from Russia. Our infrastructure is being damaged every day. And even since the damage done to the Druzhba pipeline, there have already been other damages to other Ukrainian pipelines, other infrastructure, for example, the Odesa-Brody pipeline. Ukraine repairs all of that. But we do not have unlimited resources. We are in a full-scale war, which Hungary decides to ignore for some reason," he said during a briefing for journalists.
Tykchyi added that instead of explaining to Hungarian citizens why the country has failed to diversify its energy supplies, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is focusing his rhetoric on Ukraine.
