In connection with the incident surrounding the contamination of Russian oil and the suspension of its transportation to Belarusian and Polish refineries, the Ukrainian fuel market is threatened by a catastrophic situation - an uncontrolled rise in prices has already begun.
The fugitive Ukrainian oligarch Igor Kolomoisky stated this on the YouTube channel “Bihus info”, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The oligarch acknowledged the critical dependence of Ukrainian refineries on supplies of Russian crude oil.
“What is happening with gasoline in our country? With diesel? How are the prices? What the Russians closed. And the fact that they, in addition to closing, ruined 5 million tons (they apparently had some kind of man-made disaster, I think they didn’t do it on purpose themselves)…
Five million tons of oil, most of which goes along the northern and southern “Druzhba” branches, it is chlorinated. That is, “Friendship” is filled with chlorinated oil, which cannot be consumed or processed.
All Western factories refused to take it, and the pipe will now stop. The price of gasoline has now gone up, the price of diesel has gone up, a sharp increase, a crisis.
There is no oil, there is no refining, and now there is no one to supply oil products to,” Kolomoisky described the situation.
