Kyiv promises to restore the Druzhba pipeline by May 2026, Fico questions pipeline damage
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that the Druzhba pipeline could be technically ready to resume operation in about a month and a half. Oil deliveries through this pipeline were halted after infrastructure damage at the end of January 2026. However, in response to Zelenskyy's statements, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico claims he has evidence showing that the pipeline is not damaged at all and that Ukraine could pass Russian oil through to Slovakia and Hungary without any problems. At the same time, Brussels is putting pressure on Kyiv to resume deliveries, pointing to their significance for the European Union. The Croatian pipeline operator Janaf also claims that oil supplies for both countries are fully secured and not at risk. The dispute over the Druzhba pipeline is intertwined with the broader energy crisis. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak stated that Moscow is considering a complete halt of natural gas deliveries to the European Union. According to Russian officials, Slovakia and Hungary could receive an exemption as reliable partners. Meanwhile, Slovak nationalists are calling on Prime Minister Fico to join Hungary in blocking the €90 billion loan for Ukraine, thereby positioning himself against Brussels' policy.
