Ukrainian Foreign Minister Sibiga urged Szijjarto not to tell Zelensky

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga, in response to a statement by Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto about the attacks on the oil pipeline, urged his colleague "not to point out" to Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky. On August 24, he posted a corresponding post on the social network X.

"He is the president of Ukraine, not Hungary. Hungary's energy security is in the hands of its authorities," Sibiga said.

He called on the Hungarian authorities to diversify fuel supplies and become independent, "like the whole of Europe."

Szijjarto announced on August 22 that the Druzhba oil pipeline, which supplies Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia, had stopped working again after a Ukrainian attack on its infrastructure located on Russian territory.
