Hungary with less than 90 days of oil left as Ukraine halts Russian flow of oil through Druzhba Pipeline

Hungary is refusing help from Western governments and oil companies as it intends to keep purchasing oil from Russian companies Lukoil or Rosneft after Ukraine cut off the oil-flow of the Druzhba pipeline (Friendship 3).

The Druzhba pipeline transfers oil from Russia to Hungary and Slovakia through Ukraine. Ukraine cut off its flow late last week. Hungary has now less than 90 days to find a solution before its oil reserves run out. Ukraine’s most immediate alternative for the oil transfer is from the Adria pipeline that starts from the Black Sea and passes through Romania, Serbia and Croatia with a link to Hungary.

In a statement explaining the decision, the Ukrainian government announced that it could not allow the transfer of Russian oil through its country whose profits are used to kill Ukrainians.
