"Hungary and neighbouring Slovakia accuse Kyiv of deliberately delaying reopening the Druzhba pipeline pumping Russian oil to the two landlocked states. Ukraine says the pipeline was damaged by Russian strikes in January. Hungary's Energy Minister Gabor Czepek said the group, including representatives from Slovakia, would aim to hold talks on reopening Druzhba."
"Ukrainian anti-drone experts have begun working in three Gulf states targeted by Iranian attacks, president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday. Kyiv has sought to leverage its expertise in downing Russian drones to help the Gulf nations, which are being attacked with the same Iranian-designed Shahed drones that Russia fires on Ukraine."
"Russian forces were attacking an oil pumping station in Ukraine's southern Odesa region with drones for the second day in a row, the CEO of Ukrainian state oil and gas firm Naftogaz said on Wednesday. In a statement, Serhiy Koretskyi said the attacks are aimed at preventing the alternative supply of non-Russian oil to Europe, adding that Russia has attacked Naftogaz infrastructure more than 30 times this year."
Tensions escalate between Ukraine and Hungary over the Druzhba pipeline carrying Russian oil to landlocked states. Hungary and Slovakia accuse Ukraine of deliberately delaying pipeline reopening, while Ukraine attributes damage to Russian strikes in January. Separately, Ukrainian anti-drone experts deploy to Gulf states to counter Iranian-designed Shahed drones. The G7 rejects easing sanctions on Russia despite Middle East conflicts affecting global oil markets. Russia continues attacking Ukrainian oil infrastructure, with over 30 Naftogaz facility strikes this year. Russia condemns a Ukrainian strike on Bryansk as terrorism, accusing Britain of involvement and obstructing peace efforts.
