EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said Tuesday the bloc will help reopen a damaged pipeline that pumps Russian oil through Ukraine to Hungary -- after Budapest accused Kyiv of stalling on repairs in an escalating row.

"The EU has offered Ukraine technical support and funding. The Ukrainians have welcomed and accepted this offer," von der Leyen said in a statement, published alongside an exchange of letters with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
