Hungary responded to the attack on Druzhba: Hungarians were denied entry to Schengen

Hungary has officially banned entry to Robert Brovda (call sign “Magyar”), commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Budapest made this decision after an alleged attack by Ukrainian drones on the Druzhba oil pipeline, which supplies energy to Hungary.

This was stated by the country’s Foreign Minister, Péter Szijjártó, in a video message published on his Facebook page.

“This Ukrainian citizen will not be allowed to enter Hungary and the entire Schengen area for the next few years,” Szijjártó said, without mentioning Brovdi’s name directly, but clearly indicating his status and actions.

The Hungarian minister said that the attack on a strategic energy infrastructure facility is a direct threat to Hungary’s “energy security and sovereignty.” He warned that such actions would have “clear consequences.”

Brovdi is an ethnic Hungarian from Transcarpathia, a well-known commander who heads the newly created Unmanned Systems Forces unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He has previously repeatedly published videos of drone strikes on rear facilities in the Russian Federation, including oil refineries and energy infrastructure.

Hungary has not officially stated whether this refers to the recent attack on an oil pipeline in the Bryansk region of the Russian Federation, but Szijjártó’s statements directly allude to this particular episode.

As a reminder, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó once again announced the attack on the Druzhba oil pipeline, which caused the halt in the supply of Russian oil to his country.

As reported, Viktor Orban complained in a letter to Donald Trump about the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attacks on the Russian Druzhba oil pipeline. The US president responded that he was “very angry” about it.

In addition, Slovak Foreign and European Affairs Minister Juraj Blanar said that attacks by Ukrainian forces on the Druzhba oil pipeline pose a threat to both Slovakia’s energy security and Ukraine itself . According to him, the Slovak plant Slovnaft provides about 10% of Ukraine’s diesel consumption, and any disruptions in oil transportation could put these supplies at risk.
