MINSK, May 17 (Reuters) - Belarusian state oil company
Belnefthekhim said on Friday Russian oil transit flows to
Ukraine had been suspended because the country was still
struggling to process contaminated crude it received last month.
Russia initially halted supplies to a number of markets late
last month after crude being shipped via the Druzhba pipeline
was found to be contaminated.
Belnefthekhim said in a statement it planned to resume flows
to Ukraine on Sunday night and that flows to Poland had not been
resumed.
