KYIV, April 21 (Reuters) - Ukraine will resume pumping oil through the Druzhba pipeline on Wednesday afternoon, an industry source told Reuters, as Kyiv seeks to unlock a 90 billion euro EU loan it urgently needs.
"Oil pumping is scheduled to begin tomorrow at lunchtime," the source said, adding that Hungarian oil firm MOL had made the first transit application. "MOL has already submitted requests for the first volumes, which will go in equal proportions to Hungary and Slovakia."
