Gas leaks and pipeline 'sabotage' as Germany reels from energy crisis

Germany's supply of crude oil from Russia has taken a hit after a leak was confirmed in the Polish section of the Druzhba pipeline.

While authorities in Warsaw have said that this latest incident shows no sign of being caused by sabotage, it comes at an ill-opportune time - just a couple of weeks after the Nord Stream gas pipelines were knocked out of use by explosions.

Europe is in the midst of an energy crisis after Russia all but cut off gas deliveries following Moscow's assault on Ukraine. A reduction in oil deliveries right now is the last thing that Germany needs.
