TL;DR

EU officials say Ukraine accepted technical support and funding to repair the Druzhba pipeline to restore Russian oil flow to Hungary and Slovakia, offering Viktor Orbán a way to back Kyiv’s €90 billion loan ahead of the EU leaders’ summit. Orbán has blocked the loan over oil deliveries, but Zelenskyy’s acceptance and Brussels’ aid raise hopes for a breakthrough, with sanctions and energy-security issues also in play as leaders prepare for Thursday’s talks.
