EU urges rapid Druzhba repairs as Adria route emerges as oil lifeline
TL;DR Summary
The European Commission urged Ukraine to accelerate repairs to the Druzhba pipeline after Russian attacks and Hungary’s double veto blocked a €90 billion loan and new sanctions, while Croatia’s Adria (JANAF) pipeline is identified as a viable alternative to keep oil flowing to Hungary and Slovakia. Croatia is examining whether it can legally receive non-Russian crude at its port; EU officials say there is no immediate risk to supply and Adria could meet the two countries’ annual needs, though no fixed timeline for Druzhba repairs exists amid ongoing political wrangling.
