Hungary agrees to supply crude oil from Russia via Ukraine - Bloomberg
The Hungarian energy company Mol Nyrt. has announced an agreement. The agreement will ensure the continuation of Russian oil supplies through a pipeline passing through Ukraine.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to Bloomberg.
According to the publication, under the agreement, Mol, which controls refineries in Hungary and Slovakia, will take over oil supplies at the border of Belarus and Ukraine from 9 September.
It is worth noting that previously, the Russian side was responsible for the delivery of crude oil to points in Hungary and Slovakia near the border with Ukraine.
‘The new agreement provides a sustainable solution for the transportation of crude oil through the Druzhba pipeline,’ said Gabriel Szabo, Mol's executive vice president of downstream.
Mol did not specify which company or companies will supply the crude oil. And Lukoil did not respond to the publication's request for information on oil supplies.
