Ukrainian data released on Saturday was presented in connection with the ongoing conflict with Hungary and Slovakia over the oil pipeline. Both EU countries, which import Russian oil, oppose EU efforts to support Ukraine, citing the Druzhba pipeline as the reason.

The two countries believe that oil shipments should be restored and suggest that Kyiv is covering up damage to the pipeline that was hit in a Russian attack at the end of January.

"At the meeting, we showed detailed material from the scene of the attack and demonstrated the challenges our specialists face," said Serhiy Koretsky, head of the state oil and gas company Naftogaz.
