The Druzhba pipeline is one of the largest oil transport networks in the world, spanning some 4,000 km. It brings Russian oil to Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany.

The incident is widely considered to be the result of sabotage. It contributes to the infrastructure war declared by the United States to Russia, but which most affects the interests of European states. The leak on the Druzhba pipeline follows explosions on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea.

There is no surprise that the oil pipeline that lays through almost a dozen of countries was damaged in Poland. This incident is the first signal of Polish blackmail of European states that are still hesitant to service incidents in the United States.
