MOSCOW: Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Thursday accused Ukraine of threatening Europe’s energy security by stopping oil flowing through the Druzhba oil pipeline to Hungary and Slovakia.
Ukraine, which says the pipeline was damaged by Russian strikes in late January, says it has not yet repaired it.
Separately, a Ukrainian security official said on Monday that Kyiv had used its drones to strike a key Russian pumping station serving the Druzhba oil pipeline.
Hungary this week blocked new EU sanctions on Russia and an EU loan to Ukraine, in response to the stoppage.
