Russia has repaired the Druzhba oil pipeline damaged by the Ukrainian attack and oil supplies to Hungary have been restored, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Wednesday night.

"Oil supplies via the Druzhba oil pipeline have been restored after the Ukrainian attack two days ago," Szijjarto said on X, thanking Russia for fixing the pipeline.

"We hope that Ukraine will not attack this important pipeline again. This is not our war. Hungary must stay out of it!" the minister said.

The commander of the Ukrainian forces of unmanned systems, Robert Brovdi, said the day before that the strike on the Mykilske oil pumping station (Tambov region, Russia) had stopped the Druzhba oil pipeline, which supplies Russian oil through Ukraine to Slovakia and Hungary, for an indefinite period.
