MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 08th August, 2023) Poland is planning to resume oil transportation to Germany via the Druzhba pipeline that connects Russia to Europe on Tuesday after a leak was detected at one of the pipeline's strings in central Poland.
On Sunday, Poland's Druzhba operator PERN said that one of the pipeline's strings was shut down due to the leak, while the second string was operating normally, with no damage to the health and lives of local residents reported.
