“Indeed, Ukrtransnafta completely stopped pumping oil to Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia via the southern branch of Druzhba on August 4 at 6:10 am.
At the same time, transit through Belarus in the direction of Poland and Germany continues, ”RIA Novosti quotes Demin.
According to him, the stop is due to the fact that the Russian side cannot make a payment for transit under the EU sanctions.
Earlier, Andriy Klishas, Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation, said that Ukraine had ceased to be a safe country for energy transit.
