Ukraine has completed repairs on the Druzhba oil pipeline, which was damaged by a Russian strike, and has resumed the flow of Russian oil to Europe.
This move removes the last major obstacle to the disbursement of a long-delayed €90 billion European Union loan to Ukraine, which had been blocked by Hungary and Slovakia over pipeline access. The resumption of oil flows is expected to stabilize energy supplies to Hungary, Slovakia, and Germany, and signals renewed European support for Ukraine amid ongoing conflict. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that with the pipeline operational, there are no grounds for further blocking the EU aid package.
The development is seen as a critical step in supporting Ukraine's economy and war effort while maintaining European energy security.
