Just to check, but didn’t they just bomb the Russian side of this pipeline, the part that supplies oil to it? If so, this is hilarious to me that they found a workaround that does exactly as Orban asked while still making sure nothing goes through.

He almost put up a sign that said "Putin attack here."

I imagine thats the point. If Putin attacks it, then Ukraine can justify attacking Russian oil against Western pressure.

Perun said it well, this is to give the new Hungarian government a "win" to prove to the voters that they voted well to get rid of Orban, and to give the Hungarian government more political capital to stabilize and potentially help Ukraine (or at least not obstruct) in the future. One of the biggest things they could do to help was to sell Ukraine their old T-72s while modernizing to Leopards because you aren't getting a better price for those things than right now.

This happens just over a week after the defeat of Viktor Orbán.
