      Yeah just let putin’s lapdogs snoop around your strategic infrastructure while you’re at war, no biggie

      Even if (big if) they want to fix it, are they paying? lol

      If russia strikes the same spot again and hungarian crews die, would you want to be known as the one who sent them there? And would it really be worth it? A country at peace losing supposedly highly skilled civvies for a bunch of gas that financed their (and ukrainian) deaths doesn’t sound great on a resume.

      edit: repairing it would also be a political win for Orban and he’s gonna repay by blocking help from EU as always, so it’s probably better to wait
