The pipeline war is ongoing.
On Monday (1), Ukrainian forces hit the Druzhba (‘Friendship’) oil pipeline in Russia’s central Tambov region, according to Kiev’s military intelligence source.
Reuters reported:
“It was the fifth Ukrainian attack on the pipeline which supplies Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia, according to Reuters calculations.
Hungary and Slovakia continue to buy energy supplies from Russia, even after other European Union nations cut ties following its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.”
Officials in Slovakia and Hungary said that oil supplies through Druzhba were running normally.
“Ukraine attacked the pipeline once in March, twice in August and once in September this year.”

Hungary’s Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister Peter Szijjarto said that the attack against the Druzhba oil pipeline inflicted ‘insignificant damage’.
TASS reported:
“[Russian officials] informed Szijjarto in detail ‘about attacks against the Druzhba oil pipeline’, the minister said at a brief press conference streamed by M1 television. ‘Attacks inflicted just minor damage to the oil pipeline owing to actions of the Russian defense’, Szijjarto said.”

Oil Price US reported:
“According to Mol Nyrt, Hungary’s main oil company, imported crude flows through the Transneft-owned pipeline have so far been unaffected. Previously, the Kyiv Independent had reported that Ukraine used remote-controlled explosives to destroy the pipeline.
‘The Russian oil network, as the main source of income for the aggressor state and financing for the military-industrial complex, will continue to explode and burn until the enemy stops trying to attack Ukraine’, the Kyiv Independent reported.”
