Hungary considers strikes on energy infrastructure through which Budapest receives Russian energy resources as an attack on its sovereignty, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations Peter Szijjarto said in an interview with RIA Novosti. The minister specified that "that was an issue in the recent weeks and months — that the Ukrainians have attacked the Druzhba pipeline and its connecting infrastructure, as an outcome of which on a couple of occasions we had disruptions in the oil deliveries, even for entire days." He also welcomed the agreement on the mutual renunciation of strikes on energy facilities by Russia and Ukraine, noting that the list includes the infrastructure through which Russian oil and gas are supplied to Hungary. On Friday, the Russian Defense Ministry said that at about 10:20 Moscow time (07:20 GMT), Kiev had launched an attack on the Sudzha gas metering station with HIMARS missiles, which resulted in a major fire and the energy facility was virtually destroyed.

Hungary Considers Strikes on Energy Infrastructure as Attack on Sovereignty, Szijjarto Says
10:09 30.03.2025 (Updated: 10:10 30.03.2025) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Earlier, President Trump proposed to President Putin a 30-day mutual cessation of strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, which Putin supported. Zelensky also expressed support. However, the following day, the Russian Defense Ministry reported a Ukrainian drone attack on an oil depot in Kuban.
Hungary considers strikes on energy infrastructure through which Budapest receives Russian energy resources as an attack on its sovereignty, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations Peter Szijjarto said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
The minister specified that "that was an issue in the recent weeks and months — that the Ukrainians have attacked the Druzhba pipeline and its connecting infrastructure, as an outcome of which on a couple of occasions we had disruptions in the oil deliveries, even for entire days."
He also welcomed the agreement on the mutual renunciation of strikes on energy facilities by Russia and Ukraine, noting that the list includes the infrastructure through which Russian oil and gas are supplied to Hungary.
"We were also informed by [Russian Foreign Minister] Sergey Lavrov at that time that the Russian Air Force or air protection has prevented the Turkish Stream infrastructure from a drone attack starting from Ukraine," Szijjarto said.
On Friday, the Russian Defense Ministry said that at about 10:20 Moscow time (07:20 GMT), Kiev had launched an attack on the Sudzha gas metering station with HIMARS missiles, which resulted in a major fire and the energy facility was virtually destroyed.
