The foreign ministers of Ukraine and Hungary exchanged sharp words following comments by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and recent Ukrainian strikes on the Druzhba<\/em> oil pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Ukraine\u2019s Independence Day, Zelenskyy played on the word \u201cDruzhba\u201d<\/em> (\u201cfriendship\u201d), noting that Ukraine had always supported friendship with Hungary, but now the existence of the pipeline depended on Hungary\u2019s stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hungarian FM P\u00e9ter Szijj\u00e1rt\u00f3 reacted angrily, accusing Zelenskyy of using Ukraine\u2019s national holiday to threaten Hungary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“We firmly reject intimidation from Ukraine\u2019s president. We consider sovereignty and territorial integrity to be fundamental values of international politics. That is why we respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of every country and expect the same from others,” Szijj\u00e1rt\u00f3 said on X.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He claimed that Ukraine had recently carried out serious attacks on Hungary\u2019s energy supply and argued that such actions amounted to an attack on sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“The war, in which Hungary has no part, can never justify violating our sovereignty. We call on Zelenskyy to stop threatening Hungary and recklessly attacking our energy security!” Szijj\u00e1rt\u00f3 declared.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine\u2019s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha responded in what he called \u201cHungarian style\u201d<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“You do not need to tell the President of Ukraine what to do, what to say, or when. He is the president of Ukraine, not of Hungary. Hungary\u2019s energy security is in your hands. Diversify your energy sources and free yourself from dependence on Russia, as the rest of Europe has,” Sybiha wrote on X.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Until now, Kyiv had refrained from striking the Druzhba<\/em> pipeline, mainly to avoid a total breakdown in relations with Hungary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
