Orban threatens Ukraine to unblock Druzhba oil pipeline by force

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that he would not make any compromises with Ukraine and would end the Ukrainian blockade of the Druzhba oil pipeline by force. Orban published the corresponding video on his X-account on Thursday, March 5.

The politician emphasized that Hungary has the tools to influence Ukraine to force it to resume oil supplies to his country.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on March 5, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy threatened Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban with the Armed Forces due to his country's blocking of EUR 90 billion for Ukraine.

On March 3, Orban appealed to the European Commission with a demand to influence Ukraine to resume oil transit, which stopped at the end of January due to damage to the infrastructure as a result of russian shelling.
