Putin offered CPC's foreign partners to help with repairs

Russian President Vladimir Putin has asked foreign partners to help Russia repair the oil pumping station of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) in Krasnodar Region, which was damaged after a UAV attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). He said at a meeting with members of the Government on February 18.

"It's not a Russian organization, it's an international organization. And oil, as far as I understand, under production sharing agreements, essentially belongs to these foreign shareholders," Putin said.

The Russian President suggested that foreign shareholders of the CPC should supply equipment to repair the pipeline despite the sanctions. Putin instructed Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak to resolve the issue and contact the interested parties.

"I understand that representatives of these companies and participate in assessing the damage that was caused by this attack, and assess the timing and possibilities of restoring the facility, right?" - the president noted.
