Ukraine has resumed pumping Russian oil through the Druzhba pipeline into Hungary and Slovakia, ending a months-long deadlock over a €90bn EU loan for Kyiv. The oil transit resumed on Wednesday after repairs to damage caused by a Russian attack in late January. EU ambassadors meeting in Cyprus gave preliminary approval to the loan and a 20th sanctions package on Russia. Hungary's Viktor Orbán, who lost his 16-year grip on power in Sunday's election, had demanded the oil flow resume before lifting his veto on the loan.
