“Supply via the Druzhba pipeline to Poland has been interrupted from the Russian side,” the Polish oil company writes in a press release to AFP.
The suspension comes a day after the European Union approved a new set of sanctions targeting the Russian economy and Iranian companies accused of supporting the invasion of Ukraine that began a year ago.
In a press release, Orlen assumed it was “fully prepared” for this situation and underlined that shipments to refineries are guaranteed by oil arriving by sea, so it has no impact on the service it offers its Polish customers, as reported by the television. TVN24.
Russian supplies correspond to about 10% of the total oil processed by Orlen since early February this year, according to the Polish oil company itself, which recalled that Russia contributed practically 100% of the supply in 2015.
