Ukraine struck two oil pumping facilities in Russia yesterday, causing enough damage to suspend Russia's flow of oil to its closest friends in the NATO alliance, thug-governed Hungary and Slovakia. The facility is well inside Russia. The strike is expected to interrupt oil to these two countries for several days. From Reuters:
"Russian oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia could be suspended for at least five days after a Ukrainian strike on a facility in Russia, Hungarian and Slovakian officials said on Friday, in a widening of the fallout of Russia's war in Ukraine.
Russia and Ukraine have stepped up attacks on each other's energy infrastructure, hitting Ukrainian domestic heating supplies, Russia's Druzhba pipeline and other facilities, over the past few weeks as U.S. President Donald Trump has pushed for a deal to end the conflict. [snip]
EU members Slovakia and Hungary have maintained relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin and opposed sanctions against Russia that Ukraine says are vital to make Moscow drop unacceptable war demands. They also oppose the phase-out of Russian energy supplies via the Druzhba pipeline."
Authoritarians Viktor Orhan of Hungary and Robert Fico of Slovakia are no friends of the American people and our NATO allies, not to mention embattled Ukraine. They use every opportunity to align with the Kremlin by undermining sanctions and blocking votes in NATO that support Ukraine. Despite that, the Putin employee Malignant Fascist objected to Ukraine's attack in a message to his fascist friend Orban, apparently having no problem when his Kremlin friends attack energy facilities in Ukraine, routinely depriving its citizens of electricity and gas. Good for Ukraine to let these two rogue nations feel a little discomfort for their betrayals.

Hungary and Slovakia need to be kicked out of NATO and the EU as soon as possible.
