The Russian company Transneft announced that Ukraine has stopped pumping oil through the Druzhba pipeline in the direction of Hungary. The reason for this was a drop in voltage due to rocket attacks.
This is reported by the Russian publication RIA Novosti.
At the same time, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called an evening meeting of the Security Council due to the shutdown of the Druzhba oil pipeline. Government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs announced this on November 15.
