Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski responded sarcastically to complaints from Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó regarding Ukrainian attacks on the Druzhba oil pipeline.
Sikorski responded to Szijjártó's post, in which he reported the third attack on the Druzhba oil pipeline in a short period of time and stated that this is a clear attack on Hungary's energy security and an attempt to drag it into war.
"Peter, you have as much solidarity from us as we have from you," wrote the Polish foreign minister.
Attacks on Druzhba oil pipeline
Earlier, Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanár and his Hungarian counterpart Péter Szijjártó complained to the European Commission about Ukrainian attacks on the Druzhba oil pumping station. This is because Russian oil is transported through it to Hungary and Slovakia.
The first attack on Druzhba took place on August 13. On August 18, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a second strike on the Nikolskoye oil pumping station in the Tambov region of Russia. The attack caused a fire at the facility and completely stopped oil pumping through the Druzhba pipeline.
In addition, drones struck the Unecha station, stopping oil pumping to Hungary and Slovakia.
At that time, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó threatened to stop selling electricity to Ukraine.
Today, Szijjártó said that the Druzhba oil pipeline had been attacked for the third time in a short period of time. The supply of crude oil to Hungary has been suspended again.
In addition, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán boasted about US President Donald Trump's response to his letter of complaint. In it, Trump allegedly calls Orbán his great friend and says he is very angry about the attacks on the Druzhba pipeline.
