Paris, Sept. 5 -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed that attacks on Russian energy supplies to Hungary and Slovakia are a form of "sanctions", RT reported.

In August, Ukraine repeatedly struck the Druzhba pipeline, a key route transporting Russian and Kazakh crude to Slovakia and Hungary. Both EU nations have since accused Kiev of threatening their energy security, RT added.

Speaking at a joint press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Thursday, Zelenskyy said, "Among others, there are two countries, we know that these are Hungary and Slovakia." He added that Ukrainian attacks on the Russian energy pipelines "reduce the possibilities of [Hungary and Slovakia] obtaining the corresponding oil."
