Poland’s Orlen Terminates Russian Oil Imports

(MENAFN) Poland’s second-largest publicly traded company, Orlen, officially ceased its oil imports from Russia on Monday, marking the end of its final contract with Russian oil giant Rosneft.

As reported by local media, the decision fully terminates Orlen’s oil deliveries from Russia to its Litvinov refinery in the Czech Republic, severing its last remaining connection to Russian crude supplies.

"The money spent on Russian oil will not be used against those it shouldn't be used against.
People in Ukraine will not die for money from Russian oil," stated Orlen CEO Ireneusz Fafara during a press briefing.

While shipments to Litvinov had already been halted in March, the expiration of the contract now means Orlen is completely free from any ongoing agreements with Russian energy providers.

"We have closed this chapter... today we buy oil from all over the world. Our refineries process crude from the Middle East and the Persian Gulf, the North Sea, Africa and both Americas," Fafara remarked.

Orlen owns and operates two refineries in the Czech Republic: Litvinov, with an annual capacity of 5.4 million tons, and Kralupy, which has exclusively processed non-Russian crude in recent years.
