Prime Minister Orban wrote on Facebook on Wednesday that the Polish government wants to annihilate the thousand-year-old Polish-Hungarian friendship by supporting, under the influence of war psychosis, the blowing up of the Druzhba oil pipeline, just like it was done with the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. In his opinion, this would expose Hungarian families to serious financial losses. We still support the friendship of our nations, noted the Hungarian leader.
The head of the Hungarian Prime Minister's political cabinet, Balazs Orban, commenting on Sikorski's entry earlier on Thursday, wrote that this was “the darkest dimension of war hysteria.” “Radosław Sikorski may seek to destroy Polish-Hungarian relations, but I would like to remind him that our nations are united by historic friendship and that we are allied countries,” the Hungarian politician emphasized.

Tension between the heads of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The head of Polish diplomacy wrote on the X platform that he “is proud of the Polish court that ruled that sabotaging an invader is not a crime.” “Moreover, I hope that your brave compatriot, Major 'Magyar', will finally manage to destroy the oil pipeline that feeds Putin's war machine, and you will be able to receive oil through Croatia,” Sikorski said.
In the entry, the Polish minister recalled the figure of the commander of the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces (SBS) – Major Robert Browdie alias “Magyar”, who is Ukrainian of Hungarian origin. The Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs banned Browdie from entering Hungary and traveling within the Schengen area after the Ukrainian attacks on the Druzhba oil pipeline, which supplies Russian crude oil to Hungary.
Sikorski's entry was a reaction to a critical post by the head of Hungarian diplomacy, Peter Szijjarto. The head of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs was asked on Tuesday about the planned meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin, which was to be held in Budapest, and speculations whether Putin's plane on its way to Hungary could fly over Poland. The head of Polish diplomacy replied that “we are unable to guarantee that an independent court will not order the government to stop such an aircraft in order to bring the suspect to the tribunal in The Hague.”
“Is Radosław Sikorski talking about an independent court that, on Donald Tusk's orders, refused to extradite the terrorist who blew up Nord Stream 2?” — Szijjarto wrote on
