Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday that the Druzhba oil pipeline is ready to resume operations.
The pipeline, which pumps Russian oil to Europe, was a major roadblock for Ukraine to unlock a €90 billion aid package from the EU. The oil flow suspension sparked outrage in Hungary and Slovakia, which remain reliant on Russian oil imports. Both countries had accused Kyiv of not speeding up the repairs.
"Ukraine has completed repair work on the section of the Druzhba oil pipeline that was damaged by a Russian strike. The pipeline can resume operation," Zelenskyy said on X.
