Storyline


Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced on Friday that he and his Slovak counterpart Robert Fico have agreed to establish a joint Hungarian-Slovak investigative committee to assess the conditions of the Druzhba pipeline.

On the same day, Fico announced on social media that he had proposed the creation of a joint investigation team, comprising representatives from Slovakia, Hungary, and the European Union, and the team's objective would be to conduct an on-site assessment to determine the extent of the technological damage to the pipeline.

The Druzhba pipeline, which translates as the 'friendship' pipeline, serves as a major network for transporting Russian crude oil to Central and Eastern Europe via Ukraine.

According to Ukrainian officials, oil shipments to the countries including Hungary and Slovakia were suspended on Jan 27 due to damage caused by Russian attacks.

However, Hungary and Slovakia have dismissed these claims, asserting that Ukraine has deliberately cut off the supply from Russia.

The two countries on Monday took what they described as "reciprocal" countermeasures against Ukraine following disruptions to oil deliveries through the Druzhba pipeline, escalating tensions over energy security and prompting Hungary to block new European Union (EU) sanctions on Russia.
