Russia's oil supply to Europe has been cut due to a leak in the Druzhba pipeline, but Germany has said it is getting the oil it needs. The leak in the pipeline is happening in the border area of ​​Poland. Poland has said that the cause of the leak is thought to be a technical accident, but it does not appear to be a case of conspiracy sabotage. 

The leak happened earlier this month as well

It is known that earlier this month there was a massive leak in the gas-laden Russian pipeline Nord Stream II in the Baltic Sea. He had come to the fore of deliberate damage to the pipeline. Russia and America had accused each other about it. Russian oil supplier Pern has said that the oil pipeline leak was reported on Tuesday evening. After this, measures to control the damage were started. 

Germany refuses to take gas from Nord Stream II

The company has said that oil supplies to Germany are still normal. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that his country is ready to increase gas supplies to Europe. This supply will be through Nord Stream to Pipeline. But a few hours after this statement came from Russia, Germany refused to take gas from Nord Stream II. 

Russia did construction to give gas to Europe

Russia had built this new pipeline to supply Europe's increased gas needs, but due to the outbreak of the Ukraine war, supply from this gas pipeline could not be started. Russia has proposed to supply from this new pipeline after gas supply from the Nord Stream One pipeline was stopped in August.
