Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova called Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski Osama bin Sikorski after his statement about the desirability of disabling the Russian Druzhba oil pipeline.

What other civilian infrastructure, according to Osama bin Sikorski, should be destroyed? the diplomat stated in a comment to TASS.

Previously, Sikorsky expressed hope on social media that the Ukrainian Armed Forces would be able to disable the Druzhba pipeline, through which Hungary receives oil from Russia. He added that after a possible explosion, Budapest would be able to receive fuel via Croatia.

In the same publication, the Polish minister stated that he was proud of the Polish court's decision to refuse to extradite to Germany a Ukrainian suspected of blowing up the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines.

On October 15, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó stated that the country does not intend to abandon imports of Russian gas and oil, despite pressure from the European Union. According to him, alternative routes are not yet capable of fully meeting the country's energy needs.
