EU offers money, technical help to fix pipeline at center of Hungary-Ukraine feud

EU officials said the European Union has offered money and technical help to Ukraine to repair a key oil pipeline that supplies Central Europe.

The offer is aimed at persuading Hungary to lift its veto on major aid to Ukraine, EU officials said.

EU officials described the pipeline as a point of contention between Ukraine and Hungary and said the assistance would include both funding and technical support for repairs.

It was not immediately clear whether the offer would lead Hungary to drop its veto, EU officials said.
