OREANDA-NEWS  Transneft has received applications from Poland and Germany for pumping oil for December, 2023 and the first quarter of next year, respectively, despite reports of unwillingness to continue deliveries. This was stated by the president of Transneft Nikolay Tokarev on Tuesday on the air of the Rossiya-24 TV channel.

"They announced that they would not take oil from Russia from the first of January. And applications have come to us now from Polish consumers: give us 3 million tons for next year, and 360 thousand tons for December, and Germany has already submitted an application for the first quarter - give it too," he said.

Earlier, on December 12, the Polish Cabinet of Ministers called for the introduction of "full, comprehensive sanctions without exceptions" towards Russia, including "comprehensive sanctions against the northern pipeline (Druzhba)."

"If this does not happen, then we will continue the discussion together with the [Orlen] concern, or the concern will decide what to do next with the commitments already made," Anna Moscow, the Polish Minister of Climate and Environment responsible for energy issues, told reporters.
