Russia halts oil supplies to Poland via Druzhba pipeline

Supplies of Russian oil to Poland via the Druzhba pipeline have halted, Daniel Obajtek, chief executive officer of PKN Orlen, said on Saturday.

“We’re effectively securing supplies. Russia has halted supplies to Poland, for which we are prepared. Only 10 percent of crude oil has been coming from Russia and we will replace it with oil from other sources,” Obajtek wrote on Twitter.

PKN Orlen said it could fully supply its refineries via sea and that the halt in pipeline supplies would not impact deliveries of gasoline and diesel to clients.
