Expropriation examined: concerns about the future of the PCK refinery. Large parts of northeast Germany and western Poland are supplied with gasoline and diesel from Schwedt.
Rosneft will take action against this and exhaust all legal means, said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. Behind closed doors, people close to the refinery's shareholders also say that expropriation could jeopardize the delivery of oil from Kazakhstan. The Russian Druzhba pipeline must be used to forward Kazakh oil. Since the oil embargo, crude oil has also been coming to Sch Wedt via the port of Rostock and the Polish port of Gdansk.
