The Druzhba pipeline, a critical channel for oil supplies to Slovakia, faced disruptions last Thursday following a Ukrainian attack in Russia. According to Slovak Economy Minister Denisa Sakova, the supply chain is expected to resume soon.

In a recent statement, Minister Sakova indicated that the outage, projected to last between four to five days, could see a resolution by Monday. This optimistic outlook was shared in response to inquiries from Reuters.
