“Russian oil is not supplied. The loading of oil refineries has been reduced to the minimum technologically permissible level, ”the Belarusian company said.

Belneftekhim specified that Minsk is currently working on contracts for the supply of oil in January, including alternative Russian sources.

The official representative of the Russian company Transneft, Igor Demin, said that the company had not received applications for oil supplies from January 1 to Belarusian refineries.

Transneft is pumping as part of applications from oil companies. Starting January 1, we have no applications from oil companies for deliveries to Belarusian refineries, ”he said.

On December 31, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko instructed to ensure oil supplies from alternative sources.

First of all, we are talking about the delivery by rail from ports in the Baltic, as well as the involvement of the Druzhba oil pipeline.
