Oil Flow Resumes via Druzhba Pipeline to Hungary, Slovakia

Russian oil is once again flowing through the "Druzhba" pipeline. Oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia have resumed.

The Hungarian oil company MOL reported that oil pumping has started again but did not provide details.

Slovakia's Economy Minister Denisa Saková also confirmed the resumption of supplies. "I hope the operation will be stable and there will be no more attacks on energy infrastructure," she wrote on Facebook.

It should be recalled that Hungary and Slovakia continue to meet most of their oil needs from Russia. Oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia via this pipeline were disrupted once again due to drone attacks on Russian territory. The last disruption was so long that the Hungarians were forced to use their strategic fuel reserves.
