Financial Times: EU urging Ukraine to allow access to Friendship pipeline 😔

Ukraine is under pressure from the EU to allow inspections of the damaged Druzhba oil pipeline after Hungary and Slovakia accused Kyiv of exaggerating Russian attacks. Ukrainian President Zelensky insists the pipeline has been bombed and repairs are needed, while Orbán claims Ukraine is withholding oil. The EU is urging Ukraine to allow inspections, but Kyiv has rejected requests citing security concerns. The situation has become a key campaign issue for Orbán, who published satellite images claiming no technical obstacles exist for restarting the pipeline.
