Zelensky Announces Reopening of Russian Oil Pipeline to Hungary

On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that a pipeline carrying Russian oil to Hungary, which had been damaged by a Moscow strike, is expected to reopen by the end of April. Zelensky emphasized the importance of repairing the pipeline, indicating that it would not be fully operational until the repairs are completed.

He made these remarks during a report in Berlin, where he was preparing to meet Hungary's Prime Minister-elect Peter Magyar. The pipeline has been a significant source of tension, as Zelensky called on European Union countries to stop building reliance on Russian energy.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been a vocal critic of Zelensky throughout the electoral campaign, highlighting the strained relations between Ukraine and Hungary amid the ongoing conflict involving Russia.
