Ukraine Sees Druzhba Oil Return Tuesday, Paving Way for Loan

Ukraine expects oil to resume flowing through the Druzhba pipeline as soon as Tuesday, clearing the way for the European Union to unblock a much-needed €90 billion ($106 billion) loan for Kyiv.

Technical tests of the pipeline, which supplied Hungary and Slovakia before it was damaged in a Russian attack in January, are scheduled to take place on Tuesday, according to people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
