Hungary and Slovakia suspend diesel exports to Ukraine amid Druzhba oil disruption

Hungary and Slovakia have paused diesel shipments to Ukraine after Russian oil flows via the Druzhba pipeline were disrupted, saying they must secure their own energy supplies and blaming Kyiv for not restoring the line. The European Commission says Ukraine’s energy security is not at risk. Slovakia’s Slovnaft refinery will prioritise domestic supply and has released emergency reserves, and both governments have urged EU support to reroute Russian crude through Croatian ports, a proposal Croatia has rejected.
