Why were shady characters using drones around the Friendship oil pipeline? Is worry about sabotage justified? 😔

Last Tuesday, Slovak police attempted to apprehend a Ukrainian-Hungarian dual citizen in Michalovce, leading to a car chase. Drones and surveillance equipment were found in his vehicle and residence. Despite indications of a planned terrorist attack on the Friendship oil pipeline, both men were released without charges. The pipeline is critical infrastructure for oil supply in Hungary and Europe. The Slovak authorities heightened security measures, suggesting ongoing threats despite the lack of direct evidence against the suspects. The situation raises questions about the motivations behind the arrests and the potential for state-sponsored sabotage.
