On December 17, Russian propaganda circulated a statement by Ilshat Sharafutdinov, one of the bosses of the “Lukoil Neftohim Burgas” oil refinery located in Burgas, Bulgaria, that the plant could limit work due to the ninth sanctions package adopted by the European Union.
Earlier, we have repeatedly reported on the pressure of the Russian Federation on the government of Bulgaria, where the aggressor sought to maintain control of its “Lukoil” concern over this plant in Burgas, and our Association reasonably informed the competent structures of European and EU countries about the involvement of this enterprise in supporting the criminal work of Russian special services, to the promotion of the ideas of the “Russian world” in the Balkans, as well as to the criminal aggressor’s “Crimean agenda”.
Interestingly, that on November 23, the same graduate of the “Ufa State Petroleum Technical University’, Sharafutdinov, reported that allegedly “the enterprise will also be able to export oil products to the European Union, despite the embargo”, on the conditions that the concern “transfers all production, income and taxes to be paid to Bulgaria, and not, as it used to be, to the Netherlands or Switzerland.”
However, it is obvious that the impact of the sanctions turned out to be stronger than the aggressor-controlled “entrepreneurs” expected.
