Repair work is continuing in Russia, so there is a good chance that oil deliveries to Hungary will resume on Friday following the Ukrainian drone strike the previous day, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó wrote on Facebook on Thursday.
According to a statement from the ministry, the minister reported after a telephone conversation with the Russian Deputy Minister of Energy that he and Pavel Sorokin had reviewed the situation after Ukraine repeatedly attacked the oil transport route to Hungary yesterday.
“He informed me that repair work is ongoing, so there is a good chance that crude oil deliveries to Hungary can resume tomorrow. Nevertheless, it must be made clear once again that our country’s energy security is a matter of sovereignty, so anyone who attacks our energy security is in fact attacking our sovereignty,” he emphasized.
Ukrainian drones struck a major oil pumping station in Russia’s Bryansk Oblast on August 13. The drones targeted the Unecha oil pumping station, part of the Transneft Druzhba pipeline network, sparking a large fire. The facility is one of the largest nodes in the Druzhba system, which spans about 9,000 kilometers (5,600 miles).
In the Bryansk region of the Russian Federation, the oil pumping station “Unecha” was hit, damage and a large-scale fire were recorded near the building of the support pumping station, — General Staff.
