FALCON POWERS – Slovakia has stopped receiving oil from the Russian oil company “Lukoil” pipeline after the Kyiv regime banned the transit of Russian oil through Ukraine.
Bloomberg quoted the national transport company “Transpetrol” headquartered in the Slovak capital Bratislava: “We are currently witnessing the cessation of oil supplies from the Russian company Lukoil to the Slovak refinery”.
The Kyiv regime has banned the transit of Russian oil to Central Europe through the Ukrainian part of the “Druzhba” pipeline, where the Russian company is a major supplier of oil to Hungary and Slovakia.
Yesterday, Hungary indicated that it had stopped receiving Lukoil oil, and the Hungarian company MOL, the owner of the only oil refinery in Slovakia “Slovnaft”, which can refine 124,000 barrels of oil per day.
For its part, the Slovak company “Transpetrol” said that “oil supplies from two other Russian sources not included in the EU’s expanded sanctions list on Ukraine are arriving regularly”.
Earlier, the Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto discussed oil and gas supplies from Russia with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov, and said: “We are now working to develop a legal solution to resume supplies through Belarus and Ukraine to Hungary”.
The Russian company Lukoil pumps 4 million tons of oil annually to Hungary.
