transit of Russian oil through the territory of Ukraine stopped on August 4.
“Deliveries on the Ukrainian part of the Druzhba oil pipeline are carried out on the basis of a long -term contract with Ukrtransnaft on a condition of 100% prepayment. When making a payment dated July 22 for oil transit in August, the money was returned to the company on July 28. The situation is complicated The fact that European regulators have not yet formed a single position on the algorithm of actions for banks of various jurisdictions, and also have not developed the procedure for issuing these permits, ”the Ukrainian media quotes the message of Transfneft.
“to resolve the issue” Transneft “sent an appeal to the authorized bank for further transfer of information to the European regulator to obtain a permit for calculations under an agreement with Ukrtransnafta JSC, alternative funds are being worked out, daily consultations and negotiations are being carried out with negotiations from service banks, ”said Transneft.
The company added that it was Ukrtransnafta who stopped the transit of oil precisely because of the impossibility of getting a payment.
In this case, oil transit through Belarus in the direction of Poland and Germany continues.
