The "Lazarevo" station, located nearly 1,200 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, is a key hub of the "Surgut-Polotsk" main oil pipeline, which transports oil from Siberia to Baltic ports and Belarus. It is also connected to the "Druzhba" pipeline, allowing Russia to promptly redistribute raw material flows between the largest pipeline systems in the European part of the country.
