Zakharova pointed to the EU's sarcasm towards Hungary after Ukraine's strike on Druzhba

After the Ukrainian attacks on the Druzhba oil pipeline, Hungary asked the European Union (EU) countries to consolidate, but in response received sarcasm and ridicule that the situation was not a problem for Europe. This was announced on September 4 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, in the Izvestia studio at the Eastern Economic Forum 2025 (WEF 2025).

"Hungary begged, asked, and appealed to its seemingly solidary unification partners for an appropriate reaction. These are the very partners who are arming the Kiev regime, and it is using these weapons against Hungary," the diplomat said.
