KIEV, July 21 - Russian Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin said Monday Ukraine’s plans to start moving Caspian Sea crude oil via Odessa-Brody to the European Union is a cause for “concern” among Russian oil companies.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko last week postponed the supplies of Caspian Sea oil via Odessa-Brody indefinitely by banning the state oil shipper from signing oil contracts.
