flag Slovakia blames Ukraine for delaying Druzhba pipeline restart, but Ukraine says damage from Russian attack caused suspension.

flag Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico accused Ukraine of delaying the restart of the Druzhba oil pipeline, claiming it was a political move to pressure Hungary over its opposition to Ukraine’s EU membership. flag Ukraine’s foreign ministry said the pipeline’s Ukrainian section was suspended on January 27 due to damage from a Russian attack, not political reasons. flag Fico, known for his pro-Russian stance, offered no evidence for his allegations. flag Hungary’s foreign minister countered that the pipeline is operational and that Ukraine’s leadership is blocking transit, citing political motives ahead of elections. flag The dispute highlights ongoing tensions over energy security, Ukraine’s EU bid, and diverging European views on the war.
