Ukraine transports Russian oil through the Druzhba pipeline to the European Union. The contract is valid until the end of 2029. However, on January 1, Ukraine stopped the transit of Russian natural gas through its territory in the interests of national security.
However, Hungary is negotiating with Russia and Ukraine to maintain open gas supplies through Ukraine, despite the fact that Russian gas is now imported through the Turkish Stream pipeline.
