About three weeks after the mysterious damage to the gas pipeline, in Poland there are reports of a leak in the Druzhba pipeline, which carries Russian oil to Europe.
The Polish operator PERN reported that the leak was found in the section of the pipeline, located about 70 km from the city of Plock, west of Warsaw. In its two branches, the Druzhba pipeline - which means "friendship" in Russian - carries oil to Germany, Poland, Belarus, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Kia and Austria.

The cause of the leak has not yet been determined, but it occurs about three weeks after four explosions sabotaged the Nordstream gas pipeline, which carried Russian gas to Germany.
The sabotage investigation continues.
In Russia they blamed the USA, but in the West they believe that Russia is to blame - as part of an attempt to squeeze energy from Europe for the winter.
The current leak in "Drozheva", if indeed it was caused by sabotage, can also be integrated with the fact that since the day before yesterday Russia has been attacking Ukrainian power plants.
Some of the damage it caused was repaired, but Ukraine was forced to announce yesterday the cessation of energy supplies to Europe.
Ukraine has 16 power plants, some of them nuclear, built back in the Soviet Union and designed to withstand a nuclear attack.

By the way, last Wednesday the OPEC+ companies, the organization of oil producers led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, made a decision to reduce production by 2% in order to lower the prices of black gold too much.
