“Yesterday, the supply of oil via the Druzhba pipeline was temporarily suspended, through which oil from Russia through Ukraine enters Hungary,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
Szijjarto specified that one transformer station was damaged, which sets in motion the means necessary to provide electricity.
He said that the work of the Druzhba oil pipeline could probably be resumed in a short time after infrastructure repairs.
Earlier, Transneft reported that Kyiv had suspended the pumping of oil through the Druzhba pipeline in the direction of Hungary.
On the evening of November 15, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban convened a security council due to the shutdown of the Druzhba oil pipeline.
