EU Loan Pushed to Kyiv Despite Hungary's Stance

Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán accused Ukraine of planning to disrupt Hungary's energy system.
Disruption to Russian crude flows through Druzhba began Jan 27 after Kyiv claims a Russian drone strike damaged the pipeline.
Orbán stalled a €90 billion EU loan and vetoed sanctions until pipeline shipments resume, ahead of April 12 election.
Authorities increased police patrols and banned drones in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County, with European Commission stating Adria pipeline can meet Hungary's needs.
Ursula von der Leyen said EU would push loan to Kyiv regardless of Hungary and Slovakia's continued Russian oil purchases.
