“Oil concerns that own refineries in Leuna and Schwedt no longer order Russian oil for the new year,” TASS quoted Susanna Ungrad, representative of the German Ministry of Economy, as saying.
At the same time, according to her, the refinery in Schwedt, as part of the discussion of an agreement between shareholders with the Kazakh side on the supply of crude oil, reserved the corresponding capacities in the pipeline system for oil from Kazakhstan.
Earlier, the head of Transneft, Nikolai Tokarev, said that the company had already received an application for pumping oil through the Druzhba pipeline from Poland and Germany for 2023, despite the statements of these countries about the refusal of supplies.
