Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has said that the Russian Druzhba oil pipeline has resumed operations and expressed hope that Ukraine will no longer conduct new attacks on it.

Russian oil deliveries to the European Union through the Druzhba pipeline have resumed, days after a Ukrainian strike on the line’s infrastructure brought shipments to a halt. Officials in Slovakia and Hungary confirmed the restoration of flows this week.

Oil is once again flowing to Hungary and Slovakia via the Druzhba pipeline, officials from both countries said late on Tuesday, after a Ukrainian drone strike on an oil pumping station in Russia's Tambov region halted supplies.
