“We currently have a small deficit of oil products” – admitted Nowak, quoted by Western and Russian agencies.
He assured that this problem is already solved thanks to the accumulated reserves.
“We will soon extend the ban on gas exports,” Nowak announced. In his opinion, this should guarantee additional deliveries to the internal market. This prohibition has been in force since March.
