The Druzhba oil pipeline is planned to be partially restored by the end of April.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated this during a conversation with journalists in Berlin together with the German Chancellor, Ukrinform reports.
According to the head of state, the repair will not be complete, but it will be enough to restore the facility’s operation.
“Regarding the oil pipeline, as we promised, it will be repaired by the end of April. Not completely, but enough to function,” Zelenskyy noted.
He clarified that some of the infrastructure, in particular the reservoirs, will need more time to recover.
“Not all the reservoirs will be repaired, it’s a long process,” the president explained.
Zelensky also expressed hope that the restoration of the oil pipeline will coincide with the decisions of European partners, which are important for Ukraine.
“We strongly believe that this will coincide with other obligations of European Union countries, primarily Hungary, which have blocked certain decisions that are important to us,” he added.
As a reminder, earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that the repair of the Druzhba oil pipeline, damaged as a result of Russian attacks, is planned to be completed this spring.
As reported, the Ukrainian side informed European partners in detail about the Russian attack on the Druzhba oil pipeline and presented a reconstruction plan.
