Orbán backs expert probe of Druzhba pipeline amid veto fallout
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán proposed a fact-finding mission to the Ukrainian section of the Druzhba oil pipeline to assess damage from a Russian attack and help resume deliveries, while admitting political difficulties caused by his veto of a €90 billion EU loan for Ukraine. The mission would involve Hungarian and Slovak experts; timing and Kyiv’s approval remain unclear as EU officials push repairs and consider an Adria route as an alternative.
