The Czech Republic with the help of "separatism" has found a way to get Russian oil

4

After a break that lasted more than a week, Russian oil supplies to the Czech Republic via the southern section of the Druzhba pipeline in transit through Ukraine resumed. To do this, Prague had to resort to its own way of obtaining Russian oil. The method of Hungary and Slovakia was not quite suitable for the Czech side, since the oil refining industry of the republic was completely bought out by the Polish concern Orlen.

Deliveries resumed at 20.00 on Friday, August 12

a spokeswoman for Mero, the owner and operator of the Czech section of the Druzhba oil pipeline, told AFP.



Representatives of the Czech petrochemical industry had to resort to a number of tricks in order to obtain raw materials through Druzhba. Czech Minister of Industry and Trade Józef Sikela said earlier that his country had found a way to pay oil transit fees. Although two days ago it was announced that deliveries to the Czech Republic under the "Hungarian" option are impossible.

The Russian operator of the pipeline, Transneft, announced on August 9 that oil supplies through Ukraine had been cut off on August 4. In addition to the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary suffered.

Then the Slovak oil company Slovnaft and its Hungarian parent company MOL offered to pay the transit fees for the pipeline section through Ukraine. Both Ukrainian and Russian sides agreed. Deliveries to Slovakia were resumed on 10 August and to Hungary on 11 August.

The Czech Republic had to go through "separatism" in order to get what they wanted. Despite the fact that the oil industry of this country belongs to the Poles, Prague negotiated on its own behalf and without the participation of the parent Polish company. Now the republic has also managed to solve the problem through independent payment for transit with the tacit consent of the main Russophobes of Europe.

    The Czech Republic is an American-British puppet country and is in a state of US and UK PROXY war with Russia!
    Even if the Representatives of the Czech petrochemical industry had to resort to a number of tricks in order to obtain raw materials through Druzhba,
    Russia still has all the military-political reasons to refuse to supply the Czech Republic with gas, as an accomplice in the PROXY war between the USA and the collective West on the side of the Nazi Kyiv regime in Ukraine against Russia.

    Constant PROOF from Russia to the West that Russia is indeed a RELIABLE supplier of Russian gas to Europe, already at the present time does not have pragmatic political power for Russia itself, because the "Red Lines" by the West in relation to Russia have already been passed. It's funny not to notice!

    The time has come for Russia to stop stepping on the same rake of disregard for its own SOVEREIGNTY of the Russian state in front of the West and in its favor. Especially during the PROXY war.

      So the question is, who in the Russian Federation manages the supply of hydrocarbons, if Gazprom is half a state organization. Who regulates and manages the foreign policy and economic activities of the subjects of the Russian Federation - according to your statements and definitions, it is not clear who.
