The problem of supplying energy resources to the world market, despite the stated plans and approach of the European Union to abandon Russian gas and oil, is still relevant and even acute. Especially for Eastern European countries, whose economies and interests have been intertwined with Russia's for decades.
In this context, it is difficult to exaggerate the importance of the main Druzhba oil pipeline (with a length of about 5,500–5,665 km) - it.
One of the largest oil transportation systems in the world, connecting the fields of Russia with the countries of Eastern and Central Europe. Hungary and Slovakia continue to receive oil through Drozheba, but permanent damage leads to temporary interruptions in pumping and a worsening of relations with the European Union.
