Trump Furious Over Ukrainian Strike on Russian Pipeline. U.S. President Trump criticized Ukraine over a drone strike on a key Russian oil pipeline to Hungary. The Druzhba pipeline to Hungary and Slovakia was hit on August 13, repaired by August 19, then struck again. Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán, a Trump ally, raised concerns over Hungary’s energy security after the strike. Trump reaffirmed support for Orbán just days before a scheduled meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Hungarian-descended Robert Brovdi led Ukraine’s drone strikes, announcing the second with a 1956 slogan. Hungary and Slovakia urged the EU to act, warning the pipeline could shut for five days, risking supply disruptions. Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó urged the European Commission to prioritize Europe’s energy interests over Ukraine’s. Hungary, exempt from the Russian EU oil ban, opposes deeper cuts to its reliance on Moscow’s energy. The crisis reveals deep divisions over Europe’s energy policies amid ongoing war and international diplomatic tensions.
