  • Story Text: The Kremlin said on Monday (February 16) it agreed with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico who has accused Ukraine of holding up the restart of the Druzhba oil pipeline to try to pressure Hungary to drop its opposition to Kyiv's future membership of the European Union.
    Ukraine's foreign ministry said last Thursday (February 12) that Russian oil destined for Eastern Europe which goes through the Ukrainian part of the Druzhba pipeline had been suspended since January 27 due to a Russian attack.
