As expected, the oil will flow again soon.
Conservative champion, former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is the man Brussels loves to hate – and Kiev too.
Unlike the Globalist ‘leaders’ of the EU, Orbán rejected Ukraine’s membership in both the EU and NATO, and refused to send money for Kiev’s war effort.
This made him an enemy for Volodymyr Zelensky, who ridiculed him, called him fat, threatened to unleash his military on him, and finally, in the runup to the Hungarian elections, cut the flow of Russian oil passing through Ukrainian territory in the Druzhba pipeline.
And now that Péter Magyar won the election with a wide margin, to no one’s surprise, Zelensky announces that the pipeline will be opened in less than ten days.

Reuters reported:
“Zelenskiy said in an interview broadcast on Monday that the damaged Druzhba pipeline carrying Russian oil to Eastern European countries would be restored to operation by the end of April.
‘It will be ready to operate by the end of April’, Zelenskiy told a Ukrainian television interviewer.
The interview appeared to have been recorded before the broadcast, but it was not immediately clear when.”

But the new PM, Magyar, also called on Zelensky today to reopen the damaged pipeline as soon as it is functional.
Euronews reported:
“’He should not go down that street’, incoming Hungarian PM Péter Magyar said when asked about new potential Ukrainian demands to reopen the Druzhba pipeline. Brussels ready for Hungary to lift veto if oil flows resume.
Hungary’s newly elected prime minister Péter Magyar suggested a controversial pipeline carrying Russian oil through Ukraine should be resumed as Brussels sets the stage for Budapest to lift its veto over a crucial financial loan for Kyiv.
Reacting to reports suggesting oil supplies could be reinstated imminently by Ukraine in exchange for a €90 billion loan, currently blocked by outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, or faster progress in accession talks, Magyar played both down.
‘What I can say to the Ukrainian president — although we have not spoken — is that this is not a game. If the Druzhba pipeline is in a condition to carry oil, then it should be reopened as promised. We also call on Russia to supply oil into the pipeline. Without it, it cannot function’.”
#BREAKING Péter Magyar said Hungary’s new government will pursue pragmatic cooperation with Russia, warning that a halt to Druzhba pipeline supplies threatens energy security. He added he wants to discuss energy agreements with President Vladimir Putin.https://t.co/cmossBKzpg pic.twitter.com/R1oLCtXCz0
