KYIV, Aug 1 – The operator of the oil transport system of Ukraine, Ukrtransnafta, has been paid some EUR 2.3 million, as a part of a compensation from Russia's Transneft for displacing non-merchantable oil from the Druzhba oil pipeline.

This made it possible to cover shortage of company's income caused by temporary halt of transit in April, the press service of Ukrtransnafta said.
