Ukraine struck the Unecha pumping station on the Druzhba oil pipeline, cutting supplies that carry Russian crude to Hungary and Slovakia. The commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert Brovdi, announced the attack in the Bryansk region. Bryansk's premier, Alexander Bogomaz, reported combined Himars rocket and drone strikes. The Hungarian and Slovak governments warned the European Commission that Russian oil shipments could be suspended for at least five days due to the damage. Foreign ministers Peter Szijjarto and Juraj Blanar said the pipeline's absence makes safe supply impossible. Hungary reacted angrily, with Viktor Orban condemning the strikes and his Fidesz party highlighting perceived hypocrisy.
Ukraine has hit a key pumping station on the Druzhba oil pipeline bringing fuel to Europe from Russia, knocking out supplies to Hungary and Slovakia, the only remaining EU member states still receiving Russian oil. As Ukraine targets infrastructure crucial to Moscow's war effort in response to the Russian onslaught, the commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert Brovdi, announced the attack on the Unecha pumping station in the Bryansk region.
The Hungarian and Slovakian governments wrote to the European Commission, the EU executive, saying that Russian oil supplies could be suspended for at least five days owing to the damage. The physical and geographical reality is that without this pipeline, the safe supply of our countries is simply not possible, their foreign ministers, Peter Szijjarto and Juraj Blanar, said in a letter.
