Trial pumping of oil in averse mode through Odessa-Brody oil pipeline began today. The Venezuelan crude is expected to be pumped via the Druzhba pipeline to the refinery in Mozyr, Belarus, reports BELTA news agency.  Previously, the crude shipped by tankers from Venezuela to the Ukrainian port of Odessa, was transported to Belarus by railway. A contract to make oil pumping trials was signed between Belarus an Ukraine in late October.
