US EditionUkraine Strikes Druzhba Pumping Station, Threatens Oil Flows to Hungary and Slovakia
- On August 21, 2025, Ukrainian forces launched an attack on the Unecha facility in Russia's Bryansk Oblast, disrupting the flow of crude oil to Hungary and Slovakia.
- This latest attack follows a series of strikes targeting the Soviet-era Druzhba pipeline, which had previously been temporarily suspended due to an attack in March.
- Hungary and Slovakia, heavily reliant on Druzhba oil imports under EU sanction exemptions, announced the resumption of crude shipments on August 20 despite recent disruptions.
- The price of A-95 gasoline reached RUB82,300 per ton on August 20, reflecting a 55% increase since the start of the year amid ongoing strikes on Russian oil infrastructure.
- These strikes aim to weaken Russia's war funding by targeting oil supplies but have heightened energy security concerns for Hungary and Slovakia and triggered political condemnation.
