"The pipeline can be put back into operation," Zelenskyy writes in a post on X.
The pipeline supplies oil from Russia to EU countries Hungary and Slovakia, the only countries exempt from the EU's ban on Russian oil imports. Supplies have been halted since the pipeline was damaged in a Russian attack in January.
Hungary, under outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, has cited the oil embargo as a reason to block the disbursement of the 90 billion euro loan to Ukraine that EU heads of state and government have agreed on.
Zelenskyy writes that he now hopes that the fact that management is working again will mean that the blocking of the loan will end.
