Saudi oil pushes Russian oil out of Poland

Despite the official ending of the price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia consisting in increasing the supply of raw material, the customer war did not cease. Poland is one of the beneficiaries – reports Reuters. The Russian advantage on the European market lies in direct pipeline connections, but the data show that even such an advantage does not allow Russia to keep traditional customers like Poland despite the conclusion of a new oil agreement with Saudi Arabia, which was to end the price war.
