STORY: According to the Polish operator PERN, a leak has occurred on the Druzhba oil pipeline from Russia. The leak in Poland was discovered on Tuesday evening, the company announced on Wednesday. It was discovered in a section of the line about 70 kilometers from the central Polish city of Plock. The causes of the leak are currently unknown. However, a representative of the Polish energy infrastructure authority stressed that there was no reason to assume sabotage in this case. The Druzhba oil pipeline is one of the largest in the world, delivering Russian oil to much of central Europe – including Germany, Poland, Belarus, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Austria. The pipeline’s name means “friendship” in Russian. It also supplies the east German refinery Schwedt, which is majority-owned by the Russian owner Rosneft. Germany no longer wants to use Russian oil from the end of the year.
