The volume of raw milk supplied for industrial processing in January-June 2025 exceeded 1.8 million tons, which is 10.6% more than in the same period of 2024 and 19.3% more than in the same period of 2023, according to the Ukrainian Dairy Industry Association (UDIA).
The industry association emphasized that the growth rate of raw milk purchases from enterprises in the first half of 2025 decreased to 6% compared to 12.6% in the first half of 2024.
“Raw milk supplies from private farms amounted to less than 94,000 tons,” the UDAU stated.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said that Budapest and Belgrade have agreed to speed up the construction of an oil pipeline between the two countries. The 190 km Hungarian section is planned to be completed by the end of 2027, according to the Serbian Economist Telegram channel.
“We have agreed with Serbian Energy Minister Dubravka Jedovic-Handanovic to speed up the construction of the oil pipeline between Hungary and Serbia. The 190 km Hungarian section should be completed by the end of 2027,” he said on social network X, emphasizing the importance of energy cooperation against the backdrop of Ukraine’s attacks on the Druzhba oil pipeline, which supplies oil to Hungary and Slovakia, among other countries.
Why the project is important for these countries and the entire Balkan region
Increased energy security and diversification of routes
The new oil pipeline will reduce Hungary and Serbia’s dependence on traditional routes, especially in the context of instability caused by damage to Druzhba. This increases the reliability of supplies and reduces energy risks.
Regional energy integration
The construction of infrastructure connecting the Balkan and Central European regions helps strengthen economic ties and stimulates the growth of the energy market in the region.
Strategic independence
Independence from single transit routes provides greater flexibility in times of crisis and allows countries to respond more quickly to external challenges.
Economic impact and infrastructure development
The project creates jobs, contributes to the development of transport and energy infrastructure, and attracts investment for both Hungary and Serbia.
Geopolitical stability in the Balkans
The Balkan region has traditionally been at the crossroads of geopolitical interests. The new route strengthens its strategic importance and helps reduce dependence on external factors.
The Hungarian-Serbian oil pipeline project is not just a technical initiative. It serves as the foundation for a new energy architecture in the region, creating a sustainable, independent, and mutually supportive security system, which is particularly relevant in light of current geopolitical realities.

Ukraine received a new batch of humanitarian aid from Azerbaijan to restore energy infrastructure damaged during the armed conflict, according to Ukrainian and Azerbaijani press services.
The aid consists of the supply of electrical equipment worth $2 million, approved by a decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, dated August 11, 2025, with funds from the presidential reserve fund and the 2025 state budget. The equipment includes generators, transformers, and electrical cables manufactured in Azerbaijan.
The first batch of aid — about 10 trucks sent from the Sumgait Technology Park — contains about 90,000 meters of electrical cables, 25 generators, and seven sets of transformers. They are intended to restore stable power supply in regions of Ukraine destroyed by Russian strikes.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev discussed energy cooperation and interaction with the US and European partners during a telephone conversation on August 10. The parties emphasized that the assistance is based on the principles of humanism and partnership enshrined in bilateral agreements, including the 2000 Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation, and Partnership and the 2008 Declaration on Strategic Partnership.
Diplomatic relations between Ukraine and the Republic of Azerbaijan were established on February 6, 1992, when Azerbaijan officially recognized Ukraine’s independence. The Ukrainian Embassy in Baku began operating in 1996, and the Azerbaijani Embassy in Kyiv in 1997.
Fixygen has prepared an analytical report with a forecast for the cryptocurrency market for September 2025:
The overall market picture as of September 1 is as follows:
A number of risks to the market must also be taken into account. Let’s start with the fact that September is traditionally the worst month for crypto; historical data shows significant market declines during this month. Macro risks should also be kept in mind: high Fed rates and uncertain regulatory decisions may put pressure on the market, while the illusion of a bullish rally (FOMO) may lead to overheating and irrational decisions.
Therefore, Fixygen offers three main market development scenarios.
Scenario A: “Red September” (probable, baseline)
Scenario B: “Moderate Recovery”
