Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has confirmed that the Druzhba oil pipeline has been repaired and is prepared to resume operations. This development is seen as a crucial step for Ukraine.
The repair of the pipeline is linked to the potential adoption of a €90 billion loan for Ukraine, which is currently under consideration. However, this financial support is contingent upon Hungary's approval.
Additionally, the resumption of the pipeline's operations may also impact a new round of sanctions against Russia, which are likewise awaiting Hungary's decision. The situation remains fluid as negotiations continue.
