Tensions between Hungary and Ukraine have escalated following multiple Ukrainian drone strikes on the Druzhba oil pipeline, a crucial conduit for Russian crude oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky openly acknowledged the attacks, linking them to Hungary's opposition to Ukraine's European Union membership bid. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó condemned the strikes and Zelensky's threats, describing them as direct attacks on Hungary's energy security and calling for an end to the provocations. Hungary responded by banning Robert 'Madyar' Brovdi, commander of the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces responsible for the strikes, from entering Hungary and the Schengen Area. In contrast, Poland's Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski invited Brovdi to Poland. Following the attacks, oil flows through the Druzhba pipeline were halted but were expected to resume at reduced volumes by August 27-28 after repairs. The disruptions raised concerns over Hungary's energy supply stability, with strategic reserves considered as a contingency. Ukraine also summoned the Hungarian envoy over the treatment of the Hungarian minority in Ukraine amid the diplomatic fallout. The conflict over the pipeline has drawn sharp rhetoric from both sides, with Hungary accusing Ukraine of reckless attacks and Ukraine urging Hungary to diversify its energy sources away from Russia. The situation remains a focal point in the broader geopolitical tensions involving energy security in Central Europe.
