The head of the Hungarian government, Viktor Orban called possible attacks on gas pipelines that carry Russian gas to Hungary and Serbia a valid reason to start the war, Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports. The prime minister spoke about this during an interview he gave to the well-known American journalist Tucker Carlson.

Budapest and Belgrade agree that if someone encroaches on the southern corridor and does the same with it as with the Nord Stream, then Hungary and Serbia will take this as a reason for military action, Viktor Orban stressed.

On September, 26 last year, it became known that part of the Nord Stream gas pipeline was destroyed under water in the Danish economic zone. The destruction occurred on the same day on three strings of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 offshore gas pipelines.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said that Moscow woud not recognize the findings of ''pseudo-investigations'' of sabotage on the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines unless Russian specialists were involved in them.

Earlier, a well-known American journalist, Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh said that the Nord Stream gas pipeline was undermined by the efforts of Washington. Citing an informed source, he said that the explosives under the gas pipeline were planted by US Navy divers in the summer of 2022 and activated by the Norwegian Navy.
