Ukraine says it attacked Druzhba oil pipeline in Russia
Ukraine attacked the Druzhba oil pipeline in Russia’s Bryansk region, inflicting “comprehensive fire damage”, said Robert Brovdi, the commander of its drone forces.
The transit pipeline delivers Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia, which continue to buy energy supplies from Russia, even after other European Union nations cut ties following its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
A spokesperson for Hungarian refiner MOL said that crude oil deliveries to the country were running on schedule.
Kyiv says its strikes on Russian energy targets, in response to Moscow’s continued attacks on Ukraine, aim to undermine the adversary’s overall war effort.
