During a speech to parliament in Budapest on Monday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban warned that Hungary must be vigilant against potential sabotage on pipelines delivering Russian natural gas to the country, pointing to the Nord Stream explosions in September 2022.
Orban described the Nord Stream explosions as an act of terrorism and suggested that those responsible could carry out similar attacks on pipelines in the south.
Hungary and neighboring Serbia, both heavily dependent on Russian oil and gas, have opposed sanctions against Moscow and have refused to impose any restrictions themselves.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has called for a UN investigation into the Nord Stream explosions.
Meanwhile, the TurkStream gas pipeline may be vulnerable to damage, as South Stream Transport, which operates the pipeline, has had its license revoked by the Dutch government.
Seymour Hersh, a veteran US investigative journalist, claimed earlier this month that the Nord Stream sabotage was orchestrated by Washington with Norwegian assistance, a charge the US has denied as “complete fiction.”
In addition, the Russian government has also demanded a comprehensive investigation into what it has described as a “terrorist attack” on the Nord Stream pipelines. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov criticised Western nations last week, accusing them of attempting to sweep the matter under the rug.
zelesky the commediant is destroing his country and taking Europe with him. Remind him of Dombas 9 years of war who is responsible for the mersiles killing. Now European leaders are falling on their knees to the detriment of their people. Following orders from Washington who is cashing in big style. This relentless hate for Russia.
