Official: Belarus suspends Russian oil transit by Druzhba till Fri

MOSCOW, Jan 20 (PRIME) -- Belarus suspended oil transit from Russia on its segment of the Druzhba pipeline until Friday under the schedule, spokesman for Russian oil pipeline monopoly Transneft Igor Dyomin told reporters on Wednesday.

"In accordance with the plan, the Belarusian side has suspended transit towards Feneslitke and Budkovce (the southern branch of Druzhba) until January 22 due to a reverse flow on the Mikhalky–Brody segment to pump a batch of oil from Odessa to Mozyr," the official said.
