EU: No Risk of Oil Shortage Despite Druzhba Pipeline Halt

The European Union assures that there is no risk of oil shortages in Ukraine and Slovakia, despite the shutdown of the Druzhba pipeline. Alternative solutions, such as the Adria pipeline, can ensure the supply of the two countries. Hungary, which has vetoed the granting of a European loan to Ukraine, accuses Kyiv of delays in restoring the pipeline, while Ukraine calls on Hungary to put pressure on Russia, which bombed the pipeline. The EU confirms that it will grant the loan, one way or another.
