Sybiha answers Hungary: Oil transit via Druzhba stopped by Russian strike, not Kyiv's actions
The Ukrainian foreign minister wrote about this on the social network X, Ukrinform reports.
“We know that the Hungarian side is preparing to complain again about problems with Russian oil transit through the Druzhba pipeline. We can only advise them to approach their “friends” in Moscow with these photos. This is the Druzhba pipeline infrastructure burning after the latest targeted Russian strike on January 27th, which stopped the oil transit,” he stated.

He added that Hungary has not expressed any protests to Russia on this matter. “They could not even pronounce the word ‘Russia’. Double standards at their best,” Sybiha summed up.
He stressed that Moscow has ceased to be a reliable supplier since the start of its aggression against Ukraine.
“And this aggression is the cause of all problems. Regrettably, years of this reality have not been enough for the Orban government to realize this and diversify supplies. We propose them to open their eyes,” the Ukrainian foreign minister emphasized.
On Tuesday, January 27, the Russians struck energy infrastructure in the Lviv region. As it turned out, the drone could have hit a section of the pipeline that supplies Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia. Naftogaz confirmed the strike but did not specify precisely what the Russians had targeted. The company only noted that this was the fifteenth attack on its facilities in a month.
As reported by Ukrinform, on the morning of January 27, the Russians attacked a critical infrastructure facility of the Naftogaz Group in the western region. The strike caused a fire at the site. After that, Naftogaz stopped technological processes at the facility.
