Overview

• Ukraine’s military confirmed a strike on the Unecha Druzhba pumping station in Russia’s Bryansk region that ignited a large fire.
• Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said oil supplies from Russia to Hungary have stopped following the attack.
• Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanár criticized the strikes as counter to Slovakia’s interests and noted Slovnaft supplies about 10% of Ukraine’s monthly diesel needs.
• Blanár said he raised the issue with Ukraine’s foreign minister, who acknowledged Slovnaft’s role and agreed to relay the concern in Kyiv.
• The European Commission said the suspension of Druzhba transit does not threaten EU energy security and that the bloc has tools to manage the disruption, as Hungary and Slovakia pressed Brussels in a joint letter for assured flows.
