The head of the company's representative office in Kyiv, Ihor Maistrenko, announced this at a meeting with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Lithuania to Ukraine, Petras Vaitiekūnas, and the CEO of the fuel company "Parallel", Olena Khylienko.
At the meeting, held on August 1 on the premises of the Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania in Kyiv, issues of economic cooperation between Ukraine and Lithuania were discussed, in particular, fuel supplies to the East of Ukraine, where the situation remains difficult due to ongoing hostilities.
The head of the Lithuanian fuel company's representative office assured that the concern "Orlen Lietuva" is ready to support its Ukrainian partner, the company "Parallel", in the current situation: "The existing supply contracts are being fulfilled steadily, and we are ready to continue working with our strategic partner in Ukraine - the company 'Parallel'."
"Ukrainian companies focused on European values and quality standards can always count on comprehensive support from their Lithuanian colleagues. Lithuania is a member of the European Union and is interested in developing economic ties with its eastern partners," noted Petras Vaitiekūnas.
The director of the company "Parallel", Olena Khylienko, emphasized that the company fulfills its obligations to partners and customers: "Our main working principles - integrity and quality - remain unchanged in any situation. To ensure the stability of fuel supplies to our network of gas stations and the tanks of our corporate clients, we have reorganized the logistics structure. High-quality European fuel from Lithuania arrives at our storage facilities via new routes that bypass the conflict zone. For this purpose, two additional oil depots have been engaged - one in Mariupol, the second in Dnipropetrovsk - which are already receiving batches of Lithuanian fuel."
The Lithuanian concern "Orlen Lietuva" is the main fuel supplier for the company "Parallel". In 2013, the volume of supplies from the Concern's plants amounted to 166 thousand tons.
