Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Hungary will use “political and financial tools” to push Ukraine to reopen the Druzhba pipeline, a key route for Russian oil supplies to Hungarian refineries.⁣ ⁣ Oil flows to Hungary and Slovakia via Ukraine have been suspended since late January, after Kyiv said the pipeline was severely damaged by a fire following a Russian attack. Budapest and Bratislava, the only EU members still importing Russian oil, accuse Ukraine of dragging out repairs for political reasons — a claim Kyiv rejects.⁣ ⁣ Speaking at a business conference, Orban ruled out military action but vowed Hungary would prevail in the dispute. Last month, Budapest vetoed new EU sanctions on Russia and blocked a major EU loan package for Ukraine amid tensions over the pipeline.⁣ ⁣ #Hungary #Ukraine #ViktorOrban #DruzhbaPipeline #RussiaOil #EU #EnergyPolitics ⁣ ⁣ ⁣
