TNK-BP said Thursday that it might shut the Linik refinery for maintenance in June, while planning as much as $500 million in long-term upgrades at its Ukrainian plant.
The refinery may be closed for 40 to 45 days starting in June, Dmytro Zverev, a spokesman for TNK-BP in Ukraine, told reporters. The refinery may process 5 million to 6 million metric tons of oil this year amid shutdowns for work, said Didier Casimiro, head of the Russian-British oil venture’s Ukrainian division.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
