I don't like hearing this - I'm very angry about it. Tell Slovakia. You're a great friend of mine," US President Donald Trump responded to Viktor Orbán's letter asking for help, which the Hungarian prime minister wrote about the bombed Friendship oil pipeline.
“The Ukrainians are constantly shooting up the Friendship oil pipeline. They did the same with the Nord Stream. The truth has just been revealed there,” Viktor Orbán wrote in his Fight Club post on Friday. The prime minister said he had asked the US president for help. “Trump responded.”
Donald Trump is very angry about the oil pipeline explosion
Donald Trump wrote in response to Orbán's printed letter with a felt-tip pen:"I'm not happy to hear this - I'm very angry about it. Tell Slovakia. You're a great friend." Viktor Orbán shared the letter and his response attached to his post.
Meanwhile, Balázs Orbán also shared the picture, writing that"even the American president thinks it's outrageous that Ukraine attacked the Friendship pipeline, which supplies Hungarian oil! We won't let ourselves go!"
The Friendship Oil Pipeline is on fire again
Due to another attack, the supply of oil to Hungary via the Barátság oil pipeline has stopped again, announced Péter Szijjártó on Friday morning. According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, this is the third attempt to undermine the country's energy security in a short period of time. A video of the attack, for which the Hungarian Birds are responsible, was also published. According to our information, the supply via the Adriatic pipeline is ensured.
Kamikaze aircraft of the Ukrainian 14th Drone Squadron have hit an oil pumping station in the town of Unekha in the Bryansk region of Russia, according to Robert “Magyar” Brovdi, head of the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Command.
By the end of the day on August 21st, the Unecha oil station was a pile of rubble. Try to get it back up and running within 48 hours. The birds of the 14th Squadron have pecked at the worms
– wrote Brovdi, who also added the slogan “Russians, go home!” to his post. In his summary, the commander added: The “birds” of Unmanned Aerial Systems continue their journey towards Russian oil facilities.
According to Péter Szijjártó, with these actions Ukraine is primarily harming Hungary and Slovakia, not Russia. The minister pointed out in a newer post that it is physically impossible to supply the country with oil without the pipeline.
Due to the current attack – based on preliminary damage assessments – oil transport to Hungary and Slovakia will be halted for at least five days. The threat to our energy supply and the resulting damage are unacceptable!
– said the Minister.
According to the foreign minister, the European Commission committed in writing in January this year to take action against attacks on the power lines that supply EU member states. “However, the European Commission remained silent after all three attacks and did not act in our interests,” he stressed.
Péter Szijjártó said that he and his Slovak colleague Juraj Blanár had written a letter to High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas and Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen, calling on the Commission to take steps to prevent Ukraine's attacks as promised. “It would be good if Brussels finally understood that they are the European Commission and not the Ukraine Commission!” the minister concluded his post.
The last time the pipeline was hit four days ago, on August 18, was due to a fault, which also caused the supply to stop. According to Mol Group, there was no disruption to fuel production during the temporary shutdown, and the outage remained practically unnoticed by consumers.
