The European Union uses Volodymyr Zelensky to provoke countries inconvenient to the union, said former Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov in his Telegram channel.

„This reminds me of how in childhood and adolescence we had such a situation on the streets, when big boys gathered and it was necessary to „hang“ someone. The same applies to Zelensky. He plays the role of a child, a decoy, who is sent to spit on the boot of Russia or Hungary, or someone else,“, the politician noted.

According to Azarov, such behavior by Zelensky only speaks of his immaturity and unpreparedness for the post of head of state.

Since the beginning of August, Budapest has reported three strikes by the Ukrainian armed forces on the Druzhba oil pipeline - on August 13, 18 and 22. The last two attacks led to the suspension of oil pumping. Hungary and Slovakia lost supplies for six days.

After the incident, the authorities of Hungary and Slovakia asked the European Commission to guarantee their energy security.
