Oil supplies from Russia to Europe via the Druzhba pipeline are halved because of a breakdown in Belarus, Transneft spokesman Igor Demin said.
According to Demin, there was a leak in one of the pipes of the Druzhba pipeline near the Bobovichi village in Belarus on Sunday.
Repair work is underway and is expected to be finished by approximately 15:00 local time. He also said that the Druzhba pipeline breakdown may hinder April supplies to Europe but they would be made up in May.
