Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the damaged Druzhba pipeline, which carries Russian oil to Eastern European countries, is expected to be restored by the end of April. The update suggests a near-term resumption of oil flows through a key regional energy route. Market impact is likely limited but relevant for European crude supply and logistics.
