Oil Transit Halt: Ukraine's Ban Affecting Slovakia and Hungary

The transit of Russian oil from Lukoil to Slovakia and Hungary via Ukraine remains suspended. Earlier this month, Slovakia and Hungary halted oil reception after Ukraine imposed a ban on Lukoil-related oil transit through its territory.

The flow of Russian oil from Lukoil to Slovakia and Hungary via Ukraine remains at a standstill, a senior source in the Russian oil industry revealed on Tuesday.

Earlier this month, both Slovakia and Hungary reported that the supply of oil from Lukoil through the Druzhba pipeline had ceased. This disruption followed Ukraine's recent decision to ban the transit of Lukoil's resources through its territory.

The ban, imposed last month, has significantly impacted the oil supply chain, with no signs of resumption in sight.
