Berlin newspaper Russia stops oil shipments through Ukraine - Wolfgang Hampel, 'Satire is my favorite animal', new Betty MacDonald biography, support for the projects AFP / dpa / sba - 3 hours ago According to the operating company, no Russian oil has flowed through the Druzhba pipeline through Ukraine to Europe since Thursday. The Russian pipeline monopolist Transneft blamed Ukraine for the delivery stop: "In fact, (the Ukrainian company) Ukrtransnafta completely stopped pumping oil to Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia via the southern leg of the Druzhba pipeline on August 4 at 6:10 a.m.," Transneft announced on Tuesday, according to Russia's state-run news agency Ria Novosti . There was initially no confirmation from the Ukrainian side. According to Transneft spokesman Igor Djomin, the end of the transit is related to payment problems: Ukraine is demanding payment in advance for the transit of Russian oil, but payments made by Transneft have been rejected because of new European sanctions. On the other hand, deliveries continue via the northern route of the Druzhba, which leads through Belarus and Poland to Germany. In April, the EU countries agreed on a gradual oil embargo against Russia. However, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, with reference to their heavy dependence on Russian supplies, pushed through an extensive exemption from supplies via the Druzhba pipeline. -------------------------------------------------- ----- We wish you a nice Tuesday with the request for support of our projects.
