Germany negotiates with Poland to secure oil supplies for Schwedt refinery

Germany is negotiating with Poland to secure alternative oil supply routes for the Schwedt refinery, which supplies Berlin and has experienced supply problems since May 1. The refinery, located in northeastern Germany near the Polish border, faces a supply crisis that threatens fuel distribution to the German capital. The negotiations focus on establishing alternative transportation routes through Poland to maintain operations at the strategically important facility. The supply disruptions highlight Germany's ongoing efforts to diversify its energy sources and reduce dependence on traditional supply chains.
