Khaberni - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview broadcast on Monday that the Druzhba pipeline, which transports Russian oil to Eastern European countries, will resume operations by the end of April.
Zelensky added in the interview broadcast by Ukrainian television, "It will be ready for operation by the end of April."
It appears that the interview was recorded before its broadcast, but the exact date of recording was not yet clear.
The Ukrainian state energy company Naftogaz declined to comment on the timeline for resuming pipeline operations.
Russian oil deliveries to Hungary and Slovakia through the Druzhba pipeline have been halted since late January after a Russian drone attack damaged the pipeline in western Ukraine.
