KYIV, March 18 – The shutdown of Russian petroleum product supplies from April 1 will not cause a deficit and rise in prices in the Ukrainian market, Ukrtatnafta, the country’s largest oil refinery, said.

"Ukrtatnafta currently has at its disposal extra crude oil at the terminal in Odesa in the volume of two tankers. This allows us to respond quickly in the event of a shortage in the market and there are technical abilities to increase the load of technological units and additionally produce 120,000 tons of petroleum products per month," the company said in a press release on Thursday.
