Hungary accuses Kyiv of oil flow blockade amid Druzhba dispute
Hungary’s prime minister Viktor Orbán accuses Kyiv of an oil blockade by delaying the Druzhba pipeline’s reopening, saying soldiers have been deployed to protect energy facilities. Kyiv says the line was shut after Russian strikes, while EU officials note non-Russian crude can cover Hungary and Slovakia. The dispute adds pressure ahead of Hungary’s elections as both countries navigate energy security and alternate supply routes.
