Slovakia cuts emergency power to Ukraine amid oil transit dispute

Bratislava halted emergency electricity supplies to Kyiv after Kyiv did not restore Druzhba oil transit, as Slovakia and Hungary pressed Kyiv on oil flows; Prime Minister Robert Fico warned of further measures, including reevaluating support for Ukraine’s EU bid. Ukraine condemned the move as blackmail as the Druzhba pipeline remains disrupted after a Russian drone attack, with Kyiv proposing alternative routes and ongoing repairs while Slovakia declares an oil emergency to secure domestic supply.

Ukraine Drones Strike Druzhba Pipeline Hub, Blocking Russian Oil Route to Europe

Ukrainian long‑range drones hit the Kaleykino pumping station on Russia’s Druzhba pipeline in Tatarstan, causing a fire and shutting down a key oil transit node toward Hungary and Slovakia. Kyiv framed the attack as retaliation amid Budapest’s threats to block an EU loan and electricity deliveries, while Moscow acknowledged drone activity but gave no damage details. The strike fits a pattern of Ukrainian operations against Druzhba facilities and highlights ongoing energy-security tensions between Kyiv, Moscow and European partners.

Brussels oil feud: Hungary blocks Ukraine aid amid Druzhba dispute

Hungary’s foreign minister Péter Szijjártó vetoed urgent Ukraine aid in Brussels over an energy dispute linked to the Druzhba oil pipeline and clashed with Ukrainian journalists, arguing Hungary’s sovereign energy choices and accusing Kyiv of hostility. The move risks stalling a sanctions package, with Hungary previously exempt from a loan but signaling a reversal. The EU says Druzhba damage was caused by a Russian strike, while Kyiv and Brussels trade blame as Europe seeks to reduce Russian oil by 2027.

Ukraine blasts energy blackmail as Druzhba row widens

Ukraine condemned Hungary and Slovakia for “blackmail” after they threatened to cut electricity unless Kyiv restarts Russian oil transit via the Druzhba pipeline, damaged by a Russian attack.
