"We have stopped gasoline deliveries to Ukraine, we are not delivering diesel either, we are still delivering electricity, and we will also stop things passing through Hungary, things that are important to Ukraine, until we receive Ukraine's approval for oil deliveries."
"Hungarian and Slovakia, both European Union members, accuse Kyiv of dragging out repairs for political reasons, a claim Ukraine has denied. The head of Ukraine's state-energy firm Naftogaz Sergiy Koretsky said repair crews were working on creating a bypass around damaged sections of the pipeline but warned that the threat of Russian attacks was complicating their work."
Hungary and Slovakia are engaged in a dispute with Ukraine over the Druzhba pipeline, which delivers Russian crude oil to Central Europe. The pipeline has been damaged, and Hungary accuses Ukraine of deliberately delaying repairs for political reasons, while Ukraine denies this claim. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced Hungary will use "every means" to resolve the situation, including stopping fuel deliveries to Ukraine and halting goods transiting through Hungarian territory until oil deliveries resume. Ukraine's President Zelenskyy stated repairs require four to six weeks, with Ukrainian energy officials noting that Russian military threats complicate repair efforts. Separately, Ukraine accused Hungary of detaining seven employees of a Ukrainian state bank whose vehicles were transiting between Austria and Ukraine.
