The European Union will suggest that the new Hungarian government should use the pipeline going through Croatia for oil supplies instead of the Druzhba oil pipeline, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said.
"I can confirm on my part that we will discuss the situation in a fortnight in Cyprus at an informal EU summit. Hungary has already been offered to use the pipeline going through Croatia," he said.
The previous Hungarian government did not accept this proposal, Merz noted.
Zelenskyy said Tuesday that the damaged Druzhba oil pipeline would be operational by the end of April, but there's a trade-off.
ReplyDeleteZelenskyy expects Hungary to lift its veto on the €90 billion loan to fund Kyiv’s war effort against Russia, as he confirmed oil will flow through the conduit again by end of April.
"We have promised that the [Druzhba pipeline] will be repaired by the end of April. Not completely, but enough for it to be operational," Zelenskyy said during a joint press conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Berlin.
