Ukrainian attack suspends Russian oil flows to Hungary and Slovakia

Russian oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia may be suspended for at least five days due to a Ukrainian strike on a key facility. This is part of the ongoing conflict, which has seen increased attacks on energy infrastructure. Both countries depend on Russian oil, opposing EU measures to phase it out by 2027.

Hungarian and Slovak governments are urging the EU for supply security, stating, "The physical and geographical reality is that without this pipeline, the safe supply of our countries is simply not possible." This recent attack marked the second disruption in oil flow this week.
