Trump to Orbán about Ukrainian Druzhba attack: “I am very angry about it”
Change language:
The Druzhba oil pipeline has seen three Ukrainian attacks on Russian soil recently, and Budapest and Bratislava are calling on the European Commission to prevent such attacks, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Facebook on Friday, adding that the pipeline was crucial for Hungarian and Slovak energy supplies. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Orbán penned a brief message about the issue to Trump, who responded today.
Trump expressed deep anger over the Ukrainian attacks
Orbán’s political director, Balázs Orbán, shared a letter from the Prime Minister complaining about the Ukrainian assaults on the Druzhba (Friendship) pipeline, which supplies Russian crude oil to Hungary and Slovakia. The attacks had previously halted oil transport for several days. We reported earlier that due to the latest attack, repairs to the pipeline would take at least five days.

Trump replied in handwriting, expressing his strong displeasure at the Ukrainian attacks on the Druzhba pipeline and suggested that Orbán should convey this sentiment to Slovakia as well. He also described Orbán as a great friend.
Yesterday, Trump posted on his Truth Social account that Ukraine should be supplied with the means to strike back against Russia rather than merely defending itself. He remarked that no war is won by defence alone; victory requires effective offensive action.

FM Szijjártó and Juraj Blanar, his Slovak counterpart, on Friday sent a letter to EU High Representative Kaja Kallas and Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen, saying that oil supplies via the pipeline could be suspended for at least five days towards Hungary and Slovakia.
“Let’s be clear: with these attacks Ukraine is not primarily hurting Russia, but Hungary and Slovakia,” Szijjártó said. “The Druzhba pipeline is indispensable for our energy supply. Without it, providing oil to our countries is physically impossible. Such attacks are a direct and unacceptable assault on our energy security,” he added.
Ukraine please hit the Russian pipeline again and again and put them out of business so that Russia cannot finance its’ war of aggression. By the way Donald Trump’s signature has to be the most disturbing one anyone can see. The jagged lines say dangerous fascist dictator or psychopath.
