UK lifts sanction on 'Druzhba'

Ukraine postpones oil delivery deadlines

The British government announced that tariffs and restrictions imposed on the Druzhba oil pipeline will be lifted from October 2027. This decision is confirmed by a document obtained from the press service of the Ministry of Economy. Meanwhile, Ukraine announced the postponement of the resumption dates for oil supplies along the Druzhba pipeline to Slovakia, deciding to move them to February 26. This change is expected to impact cross-border energy routes in the region.

Context

The Druzhba oil pipeline was shut down in 2014 due to sanctions related to the Georgia dispute. Since 2021, it has operated partially, and now it is transitioning to a new legal status.

Summary:

The UK will lift sanctions on the "Druzhba" oil pipeline by October 2027, while Ukraine will reschedule oil deliveries to Slovakia for February 26.
