Here is the situation on Friday, February 27:

Russia said on Thursday it would retaliate against a European Union decision to cut Moscow's diplomatic representation in Brussels, and that the move showed the EU did not deserve to take part in negotiations on ending the war in Ukraine.

Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the EU decision to limit the size of the Russian mission to 40 people was "discriminatory" and would not go unanswered.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban asked the EU to send a "fact-finding mission" to assess damage to the Druzhba oil pipeline in Ukraine, in a letter seen by Reuters. The request follows after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed that repairs to the pipeline that supplies Hungary and Slovakia with oil were taking an extended period of time due to ongoing Russian attacks.
