Slovakia resumes oil imports via Druzhba pipeline

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has stated that the successful restart of oil imports via the Druzhba pipeline is confirmation that the infrastructure was never damaged. The pipeline, a critical energy artery for Central Europe, had been shut down for months following a Russian strike. Slovakia resumed imports at 02:00, ending the prolonged disruption. Fico's comments directly contradict earlier reports that cited damage as the cause of the stoppage.
