8. Ukraine didn't blow up the Russian section of pipeline

to piss off Orban, they blew up a junction to deny Russia the oil revenue. The pipeline supplied more countries than just Hungary. The difference is that the other countries took the last four years to look for other sources of oil. Orban stubbornly refused to do so, supporting Putin the whole way.

Below is a link to a map of the pipeline. I'm not sure which junction was blown up, but you can see this is a network of pipeline.

On edit: To clarify, the Russians first blew up the section of pipeline in Ukraine, stopping the flow of oil into Hungary. The Ukrainians later hit the pipeline inside of Russia proper, stopping the flow to other branches of the pipeline. Orban wants Ukraine to repair the section in Ukraine that the Russians blew up. I say hell no!
