Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto announced the halt on social media and stated that Russian experts are addressing the issue, but the resumption timeline is uncertain.

Oil deliveries to Hungary have come to a standstill after Ukraine attacked a transformer station on the pipeline route from Russia, according to a Facebook post by Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto.
