OREANDA-NEWS. Parallel has provided fuel for water supplying vehicles in Volnovakha District of Donetsk Oblast, where the military action damaged Severny Donets - Donbass pipeline causing water shortages in the region.

Parallel together with local authorities decided to provide fuel for vehicles to supply potable and non-potable water to medical facilities, kindergartens and residential areas in Volnovakha District.

“One of the main issues of the region is restoring water supply. It is important to support people there in the mean time, especially the vulnerable citizens,” noted Yelena Khiliyenko, CEO of Parallel. “And of course business must take active part.”

Parallel also operates under Gefest TM in Zaporozhye Oblast (1 filling station) and PitStop in Donetsk (1 station). Another 12 filling stations of Donbassnefteprodukt (8) and Neftepromtorg (4) sell the fuel of Parallel across their networks.
