Oil deliveries to Slovakia through the Druzhba pipeline have started again.

Oil supplies to Slovakia through Russia's Druzhba pipeline have been restarted, and oil is anticipated to arrive in the country later on Wednesday, according to Slovak pipeline operator Transpetrol.

The shipment of crude oil via the Soviet-era Druzhba pipeline to Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic had been interrupted in recent days. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto indicated that the suspension was a result of a Ukrainian drone strike on a metering station.

"As per our information, after addressing the technical issues on the section of the Druzhba oil pipeline outside Slovakia, the pumping of oil towards our territory has resumed, and oil delivery to Slovakia is expected this evening," Transpetrol stated.

They mentioned on Tuesday that oil flows to Slovakia through the pipeline were halted, but they anticipated a resumption later that evening. The southern segment of the Druzhba pipeline, which carries oil from Russia to Europe, branches in Ukraine near the Slovak border, with one line supplying Slovakia and the Czech Republic, and the other extending to Hungary.
