EU Offers Pipeline Repairs to Ukraine, Hoping to Lift Hungarys Veto on Aid Package

European Union leaders propose funding repairs for the damaged Druzhba pipeline, aiming to persuade Hungary to end its veto on a ninety-billion-euro aid package for Ukraine. The pipeline, which supplies Russian crude to Hungary and Slovakia, was hit in January, causing disruptions. Ukraine blames Russian drone strikes, while Hungarys prime minister accuses Kyiv of deliberate sabotage. Ukraine welcomes EU technical assistance and funds, with experts ready to address the issue promptly. Hungary, however, is stalling new EU sanctions on Russia and has been criticized for breaching teamwork among the twenty-seven members. Ukraine urgently needs the initial funding next month, as Hungarys prime minister uses the dispute to bolster his election campaign. The EU aims to resolve the issue swiftly to unlock progress.
