According to CCTV, Hungary and Slovakia announced on Wednesday that they have suspended diesel exports to Ukraine in response to the halt of Russian oil shipments through the Druzhba oil pipeline passing through Ukrainian territory.

Hungary’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Peter Szijjarto, stated that his country has immediately stopped diesel shipments to Ukraine and that deliveries will not resume until the transportation of crude oil to Hungary via the Druzhba pipeline restarts.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico also instructed the Bratislava-based state refinery Slovnaft on Wednesday to halt diesel exports to Ukraine and redirect all production to the domestic market. Fico further warned that if Kyiv continues to obstruct the operation of the pipeline, Slovakia could cut off electricity supplies to Ukraine.
