Repeated Ukrainian military strikes on infrastructure have underscored Hungary’s heavy dependence on Druzhba. Currently, 58 percent of the country’s oil — about 5.7 million tons annually — arrives via the line to the refineries in Szazhalombatta and Bratislava.

Russian oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia could be suspended for at least five days after a Ukrainian strike on a facility in Russia, Hungarian and Slovakian officials said on Friday, in a widening of the fallout of Russia's war in Ukraine.

The European Commission is in contact with Slovakia and Hungary after they appealed to it following the attack on the Druzhba oil pipeline, calling it a threat to Russian oil supplies. Source: European Pravda,
