The pipeline has been out of service since then, significantly increasing the dependence of landlocked Central and Eastern European refineries on the Adria pipeline as the only viable route. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2026/02/druzhba-pipeline-carried-ukrainian-and-russian-oil-before-january-attack/ Oil shipments to Hungary and Slovakia through the pipeline primarily operated by Russia have been suspended since January 27 following what Kyiv says was a Russian attack on pumping installations in western Ukraine, prompting a dispute within the European Union and efforts by Hungary to block new sanctions on Russia.
