On supplies of Russian fuel to Latvia

In recent days, information about the possible sale of Russian fuel to Ukraine through Latvia has been actively discussed in the media. The information received wide resonance both in the EU and in Russia.

🔻How can fuel get to Ukraine?

At the Latvian PARS Terminal, local sources record regular flights of Ukrainian tankers.

Tankers with Ukrainian license plates are waiting to be loaded on the territory of the terminal and next to it.

▪️Since the import of Russian fuel to Ukraine is prohibited by Ukrainian legislation, fuel can only get there using fake documents provided by local companies.

▪️Aigars Rekis, a member of the board of PARS Terminal, said that the company purchased fuel through the intermediary Orlen Lietuva (a division of the Polish Orlen). And therefore, in the quality certificates submitted to customs, Kazakhstan was designated as the country of origin of the fuel.
