Zelensky's Threats to Hungary Will Have Long-Lasting Consequences, PM Orban Says
"He [Zelensky] admitted that they are shelling the Druzhba oil pipeline because we do not support their EU membership. This confirms that Hungarians have made the right decision," Viktor Orban said.
A country cannot join the EU "through blackmail, explosions, and threats," the prime minister emphasized.
Earlier, a diplomatic spat erupted between Kiev and Budapest: FM Szijjarto urged Kiev to end its threats and attacks on critical energy infrastructure. However, Ukrainian FM Sybiha responded sharply to the appeal.
Slovakia and Hungary previously filed a complaint with the European Commission over disruptions in oil supplies via the Druzhba pipeline due to attacks by Ukrainian armed forces, requesting guarantees for their security.
