Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó condemned as “unacceptable and outrageous” that Ukraine once again targeted the oil pipeline in Russia which supplies Hungary, resulting in a halt to deliveries. He made the remarks Monday on Facebook after a phone call with Russian Deputy Energy Minister Pavel Sorokin.

Szijjártó said experts were working to restore the transformer station necessary for operating the pipeline, but at present could not specify when supplies would resume. “Our energy security has once again come under attack in an outrageous and unacceptable manner,” he wrote.

He added that “for three and a half years Brussels and Kyiv have been trying to push Hungary into the war in Ukraine, and these increasingly frequent Ukrainian attacks on our energy security also serve this purpose.”

Reiterating Hungary’s position, the minister declared: “This is not our war, we have nothing to do with it, and as long as we govern, we will stay out of it.”

Szijjártó concluded by reminding Ukrainian decision-makers that electricity imports from Hungary play a key role in Ukraine’s own energy supply.
