Memo: The Odessa Brody Oil Pipeline, supported by the European Union’s INOGATE Programme, constitutes a major progress in the Ukraine’s and EU’s security of energy supplies

The completion of the new Odessa Brody oil pipeline constitutes a significant step for the economic development of Ukraine as well as a major progress for the freeing up Caspian basin resources. In addition to its traditional supplies from the Russian Federation, the pipeline allows for Ukraine's oil supply from the Caspian basin through Novorossiysk and Supsa as well as supplies from the international oil market while paving the way for the integration of the Caspian Sea with the Baltic Sea through its possible extension to Gdansk.
