MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Ukraine's strikes on the Druzhba oil pipeline are pure "banditry" that Western countries should condemn, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on Monday.
On August 22, Hungary said that oil supplies via Druzhba had been stopped for the third time due to yet another Ukrainian attack.
"Any attacks on civilian infrastructure, especially energy facilities, should be condemned and cause exclusively negative responses and comments, accompanied by calls for the cessation of such activities ... This is the fuel that is needed, that people are waiting for ... In other words, this is pure banditry, which leads to the undermining of strategic foundations and strategic planning within the state," Zakharova told reporters.
