KIEV, Feb. 22 - UkrTatNafta Company, which runs the Kremenchuk oil refinery in Ukraine’s Poltava region, this year has purchased for refining about 80,000 tons of Iraqi oil of the Kirkuk brand, UPECO Consulting Company Executive Director Serhiy Kuyun announced at a press conference in Kiev.

"Further toughening of competition on the Ukrainian market forces producers to diversify the basket of raw materials, while traders are forced to diversify the sources of oil supplies," he said.
