Not exactly. Russia asked Poland politely to dispose of a stupid
grandstanding prime minister and appoint a more reasonable guy. At the
same time it assured that the meat ban and other trade restrictions
will be lifted once the crazy guy goes to the political dump. And once
that stupid obstacle was taken care of, the relation****p went back to
normal. So, don't expect Poland to sup****t stupid Lithuanian
grandstanding - Poland is not interested in that game at the moment.

Only? What else? Guaranteed delivery at prices fixed many years ago?
All they are going to get is "dead ass's ears".
It doesn't make economic sense for Russia to maintain a pipeline and
deliver oil on such conditions to Lithuania - simple. Lithuania makes
a mistake by bringing politics to a simple matter of mutually accepted
commercial agreement.

With a Polish oil company owning the refinery, I would expect the new
owners to know where to get oil.
