Magyar demands Zelensky reopen Druzhba pipeline

Hungarian election winner and incoming Prime Minister Peter Magyar has publicly called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to reopen the Druzhba oil pipeline for Russian oil transit as soon as it is functional. Magyar stated he is ready to appeal to Zelensky directly, asking him to open the pipeline 'in accordance with the promise.' He also warned that Hungary and the EU would not tolerate blackmail, using an analogy about being invited to dinner and then making demands. The call comes as Ukraine plans technical tests on the pipeline, which could unlock Hungary's veto on EU aid.
