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.⁣
