Russia's Kremlin has indicated its readiness to resume oil flows via the Druzhba pipeline, yet has accused Kyiv of blackmail, complicating the situation further. This emphasizes ongoing tensions and could lead to volatility in energy markets, impacting oil prices and possibly straining EU's energy security as the narrative evolves.
