Quote: "The investigation is well underway. We don't know yet whether it was an accident, a malfunction, or an external attack."

Details: The Hungarian prime minister also referred to an earlier remark by Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, who Orbán said had "advised the Ukrainians to blow up the Druzhba oil pipeline".

"Let's hope that is not the case," he added.
