It goes to the needs of the refineries.

Belarus is taking technological oil for the refineries from the Druzhba lines, not related to the transit, and has notified the Russian side about it, the Belnautakhim concern informed the Interfax-West agency.

"Given the absence of previous oil volumes for the Belarusian refineries, there is the need to optimize the capabilities and resources of supplies, so we are using technological oil. This is our oil, it is in our pipes on our territory," - the representative of the concern says.

The agency stresses that the technological oil is taken for processing at the Belarusian refineries from Druzhba lines, which are not involved in the transit of Russian oil to Western consumers.
