The Hungarian authorities have banned the commander of the Ukrainian military unit responsible for the recent attacks on the “Druzhba” oil pipeline from entering the country or the entire Schengen area, according to Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó.
“We consider the attack on “Druzhba” to be an infringement on our sovereignty. And, of course, no infringement on our sovereignty can go unpunished. Therefore, we have decided to ban the commander of the military unit responsible for the recent serious attacks on the “Druzhba” pipeline from entering Hungary and the entire Schengen area,” said Péter Szijjártó in a video message posted on Facebook*.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs and External Economic Relations noted that entry into the country and the entire Schengen area will be closed for “this person” for the next few years.
Earlier, European political scientist Vadim Trukhachev stated that Hungary is “dependent” on the European Union and therefore cannot respond to the blackmail related to the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attacks on the “Druzhba” oil pipeline.
