Russia resumes pumping oil to Europe via Belarus

Russia on Thursday resumed pumping oil to Europe via Belarus, ending a three-day suspension of supplies, the Russian state pipeline operator said.

“Russian oil is flowing through the Druzhba pipeline to Europe,‘‘ OAO Transneft Vice President Sergei Grigoriyev told The Associated Press.

Belarus late Wednesday began delivering oil through the pipeline, to compensate Russia for 71,670 tonnes of crude that it had illegally siphoned off, Grigoriyev said.
