Hungary is poised to receive oil deliveries through the Druzhba pipeline once again, albeit at lowered volumes, following a disruption linked to Ukraine's recent strikes on Russian energy assets.

In a social media statement, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto announced that Russian Deputy Energy Minister Pavel Sorokin had communicated a temporary resolution to the supply interruption.

Szijjarto assured that Hungary's oil reserves remain sufficient and emphasized the urgency for Ukraine to halt attacks on the pipeline, which he sees as jeopardizing Hungary's energy security.
