Costa thanks Zelenskyy for fulfilling agreements on Druzhba oil pipeline
European Council President Antonio Costa thanked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for fulfilling the agreements on restoring the operation of the Druzhba oil pipeline.
"Thank you President Zelenskyy for delivering as agreed: repairing the Druzhba pipeline and restoring its operation," Costa said on X.
Earlier on Tuesday, Zelenskyy said Ukraine had completed repair work on the section of Druzhba oil pipeline damaged by a Russian strike, and that the pipeline could resume operation.
According to the president, Ukraine links this to the unblocking of the European support package for Ukraine, which has already been approved by the European Council.
"And we also hope that partners will take the appropriate steps regarding the clusters for Ukraine - we have already done our part of the work on the first clusters," he said.
Zelenskyy also stressed the need to continue systematic sanctions pressure on Russia and further work on diversifying energy supplies to Europe.
