Oil flows resume to Hungary and Slovakia via Druzhba pipeline
Oil is once again flowing to Hungary and Slovakia via the Druzhba pipeline, officials from both countries said late on Tuesday, after a Ukrainian drone strike on an oil pumping station in Russia's Tambov region halted supplies.
Ukraine has stepped up attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure, a key conduit for generating money for Kremlin's war efforts, with oil and gas sales accounting for a quarter of Russia's total state budget proceeds.
Unlike most other European Union countries, Slovakia and neighbouring Hungary have kept up their dependence on Russian energy and get most of their crude through the Druzhba pipeline.

The parade will feature 45 military contingents and last 70 minutes. President Xi Jinping will oversee the event, joined by foreign dignitaries including Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) is expected to unveil new hypersonic and anti-ship missiles, drone-defence systems, and early warning aircraft designed to protect China’s expanding naval presence.
