Hungary demands pipeline sabotage justice.
February 28, 2023Tweet
(RT) ⸻ Hungary needs to watch out for potential sabotage on pipelines that deliver Russian natural gas to the country, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Monday, pointing to the September 2022 blasts on the Nord Stream pipelines connecting Russia to Germany via the Baltic Sea. Orban said that Hungary, together with neighboring Serbia, must make clear that if this were to happen, it would not be easy to get away with. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto this week called for the UN to investigate the "scandalous" attack on the pipelines, and the Black Sea pipeline delivers Russian gas to Hungary and Serbia. Seymour Hersh has claimed that the Nord Stream sabotage was orchestrated by Washington with help from Norway, but the US has denied any involvement. Russia has also called for a thorough investigation into the "terrorist attack." Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov accused Western countries last week of trying to bury the issue.
