The buyer chooses a supplier. The problem is that we need the infrastructure that will make this choice possible. Today, Belarus has a choice between the three largest oil producers in the world – Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United States.
On May 15, the beginning of the supply of American oil to Belarus was announced. The raw materials were purchased from United Energy Trading through the mediation of the American company Getka and the Polish company UNIMOT. Adam Sikorski, CEO of UNIMOT, comments on the deal.
The head of the US State Department, Mike Pompeo, during his visit to Minsk, spoke about the competitive price of American oil. What price are you talking about?
This is the part of the contract that I cannot talk about. Probably, I will not reveal a big secret if I say that this price is lower than the one that is now on the world market. I read comments about that it will be very expensive and so on … No, in my opinion, this is a competitive price.
