Poland will sue Russia for lack of oil supplies

8

The Polish oil refinery Polski Koncern Naftowy (PKN) Orlen will demand compensation from the Russian side for the cessation of supplies through the Druzhba pipeline, Daniel Obaitek, head of the concern, said. At the same time, on Radio Zet, he refused to talk about the amount of compensation, citing a trade secret.

The Russians have stopped pumping oil to Poland <...>, so now we are suing and making claims

Obaitek emphasized.



The head of the PKN Orlen concern announced that Moscow had stopped exporting oil to Poland at the end of February. At that time, Obaitek said that only 10% of the fuel came from Russia, and promised to replace such a volume with supplies from other exporters. Transneft, which is the operator of Druzhba, explained that at the end of February oil was not pumped to Poland because they did not receive payment for transit.

For Poland, only the agreement with Tatneft, extended until 2023, remained valid for 2024.

Earlier it was reported that overcrowded underground gas storage turned from the pride of Europe to a symbol of disappointment and a burden. It is obvious that the leadership of the EU and the countries participating in the association, having spent too much effort on replenishing stocks, counted on the longest possible time for their depletion. However, the storage rate dropped below 60% by the end of February, and not because of the cold weather.

    We are waiting for Poland's statement in the Basmanny Court of Moscow.
    Decisions of other European courts in Russia have not been recognized since the beginning of the SVO.

    #and what?

    Did you go to the market? You see, it didn't work out. Why? But because

    oil was not pumped because they did not receive payment for transit

    It is immediately clear that in Warsaw they are not familiar with the immortal "12 chairs" from the "cursed Soviet heritage." And it is worth noting that Transneft requires payment not even for the oil supplied under the contract, but for its delivery.

    sir Obaitek, you forgot to pay for the goods, you can call the policeman yourself.

    Psheks with a debt of 370 billion want to receive Russian gas and oil for free? first, let them pay for the liberation of Poland from the Germans, and this is not one trillion euros in gold

    And Russia will go to court with a guilty head? Well, with such leadership of the country, I will not be very surprised ... There is a living embodiment of biblical wisdom.

    Hit on one cheek - turn the other. And let your offender be ashamed!

    ... I just feel sorry for the State ...

      It's just that the country's governance system is not transparent for you. There is no leadership, as such, there is something similar to the board of directors. And if the prospects for the benefit of any of them are violated, then yes, the issue will be considered in the London court, but not in the Basman court, as the first commentator assures us.
