Russian oil supply to Hungary suspended because of Ukraine - Hungarian FM

BERLIN. Aug 18 (Interfax) - Russian oil supply to Hungary has been suspended because of a Ukrainian attack on the oil pipeline, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Monday.

"Ukraine has once again attacked the oil pipeline leading to Hungary, cutting off supplies," Szijjarto said on the X social network.

"This latest strike against our energy security is outrageous and unacceptable," he said.

Szijjarto said he had been informed by the Russian side that specialists had started repairing the pipeline but did not know when the work might be completed.
