A leak in Poland's Druzhba pipeline highlights Europe's ongoing struggle to reduce dependence on Russian oil while maintaining energy security.
Poland has shut down a branch of the Druzhba pipeline after detecting a leak, Bloomberg reported on Sunday, citing Polish media and the local firefighting service that responded to the leak report. The Druzhba pipeline carries Russian crude to Central Europe . Germany buys it in Poland for two of its refineries, one of them formerly owned by Russia’s Rosneft.
In August last year, PERN had to shut off a section of the pipeline following the detection of a leak. The Druzhba pipeline is a key artery of oil supply from Russia to Europe, with two branches – a northern one via Belarus that supplies Belarus, Poland, Germany, Latvia, and Lithuania, and a southern one passing through Ukraine and sending oil to the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Croatia.
