Hungary bans Ukrainian commander after oil pipeline strikes - Break the Fake - TVP WORLD



Budapest has officially banned Robert Brovdi, better known as “Madyar,” the legendary commander of Ukraine's “Madyar's Birds” drone unit, from entering Hungary. The reason? His unit's successful strikes on the Druzhba oil pipeline, which left Hungary scrambling for fuel. The ban, announced by Hungary's foreign minister, applies not only to Hungary but the entire Schengen zone. But while Orbán's government is fuming, others in Europe are showing solidarity – with Poland even offering to welcome Madyar with open arms. In this latest episode of Break the Fake, Jonasz Rewiński tells us more about why Hungary targeting a Ukrainian military commander instead of addressing its energy dependency on Moscow. And what does this diplomatic clash mean for Europe's unity?
