Hungary's MOL says it received Ukrainian oil via Druzhba pipeline

About this update from Jadranski Naftovod D.d.

Hungary's MOL received some 35,000 tons of Ukrainian crude via the Druzhba pipeline at Ukraine's request after the hit and fire near the pipeline, oil group MOL's executive chairman Zsolt Hernadi told commercial television ATV. "The pipeline itself suffered no damage ... all the more so, as when the fire broke out after the (Russian) hit, then from other storages they started to pump Ukrainian crude into the pipeline. The Ukrainian colleagues asked us after the fire broke out, that we should take over this oil to prevent the problem and fire escalating further," Hernadi said late on Monday."And we took over (bought) 35,000 tons of Ukrainian crude which arrived on the Druzhba pipeline over 2-3 days." Oil shipments to Hungary and Slovakia through the pipeline primarily operated by Russia have been suspended since January 27 following what Kyiv says was a Russian attack on pumping installations in western Ukraine.
