Ukrainian attack suspends Russian oil flows to Hungary, Slovakia

# Russian oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia could be suspended for at least five days after a Ukrainian strike on a facility in Russia. Ukraine and Russia have stepped up attacks on each other’s energy infrastructure, hitting Ukrainian domestic heating supplies, Russia’s Druzhba pipeline and other facilities, over the past few weeks. This comes as US President Donald Trump pushed for a deal to end the conflict. EU members Slovakia and Hungary have maintained relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin and opposed sanctions against Russia. They also oppose the phase-out of Russian energy supplies via the Druzhba pipeline.
