This is about a gas pipeline that transports Russian gas between Serbia and Hungary, for which Serbian intelligence services report having found explosives on critical infrastructure.
As a result, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban held an emergency security meeting, after which Szijjarto posted a video on Facebook summarizing the discussion from the meeting and reiterating his claims that Ukraine is attempting to hinder Hungary's gas supply amid the global energy crisis.
"Earlier, the Ukrainians blew up the Nord Stream. After the explosions, they long claimed it was Russia, which is illogicalโwhy would Russia blow up its own pipelines? In recent weeks, dozens of drones have continuously attacked the TurkStream pipeline, which supplies gas to Hungary, on Russian territory, and now it appears that the terrorist attack prevented by Serbia is part of these attacks," said Szijjarto.
He added that this alleged sabotage fits into a series of incidents in which Ukraine is constantly trying to disrupt the transport of Russian gas and oil to Europe.
Georgiy Tykhy, spokesperson for the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, dismissed the accusations and pointed to the possibility of Russian involvement.
"We categorically reject attempts to falsely link Ukraine to the incident involving explosives found near the TurkStream pipeline in Serbia. Ukraine has nothing to do with this. It is most likely a false Russian operation as part of Moscow's strong interference in the Hungarian elections," said Tykhy.
