Ukraine has launched a significant attack on the Russian Druzhba oil pipeline, crucial for oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia. Overnight, a large-scale drone attack targeted the Lukoil refinery in the Volgograd region, resulting in an oil spill and a substantial blaze. Russian air defence systems managed to repel the UAV assault, but debris caused significant oil leakage. Hungarian officials expressed their anger, emphasizing the vital importance of the Druzhba pipeline for Hungary's energy stability. This event marks an escalation in the ongoing conflict's impact on regional energy supplies.
"Debris from downed drones caused oil products to leak and ignite at the Volgograd Oil Refinery. Fire crews promptly began extinguishing the blaze."
"Hungary is Ukraine's number one electricity supplier. Without us, the country's energy security would be highly unstable."
"Overnight, Russian Defence Ministry air defences repelled a large-scale UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) assault on Volgograd Oblast."
"Given this, the Ukrainian attack on the Druzhba pipeline, which supplies Hungary with oil and is vital to our energy security, is outrageous."
