Hungary and Slovakia seek Croatian help after Russian oil flows via Ukraine stop

Hungary and Slovakia asked Croatia to help deliver Russian oil after flows via Ukraine halted. Budapest says Kyiv is blocking supply for political reasons.

A reported attack on the Druzhba pipeline in Ukraine UAUA on January 27 has knocked out Russian RURU oil flows to Eastern Europe, creating an immediate energy security crisis for the region. The disruption has directly impacted the energy supply security of Hungary HUHU and Slovakia SKSK, prompting both nations to seek alternative supply routes. In response to the incident, the Hungary government and the Slovakia government have formally asked the Croatia HRHR government to enable the transport of Russian oil via the Adria pipeline to mitigate the loss of the northern supply line.
