Zelenskiy Says Oil Flows Can Resume, Paving Way for EU Loan

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said repairs have been completed on the Druzhba oil pipeline, allowing the resumption of Russian oil flows to Europe and paving the way for a much-needed €90 billion ($106 billion) loan.

“As agreed in communication with the European Union, Ukraine has completed repair work on the section of the Druzhba oil pipeline that was damaged by a Russian strike,” Zelenskiy said Tuesday in a post on the X platform. “The pipeline can resume operation.”
