the best soccer club in Ukraine ostensibly is based in Donetsk, are they still homeless and playing in the west or have things calmed down enough?

this part jumped out at me
quote:
Crude supplies via the Druzhba pipeline had been partly halted since April, when heavy contamination of oil with organic chlorides, which can become highly corrosive during the refining process, was first identified in Belarus, where the pipeline splits into two lines — one going to Ukraine and on to central Europe and one to Poland and on to Germany.
so until some contamination occurred, despite all the tension and an actual ongoing shooting war between proxies between these two countries ukraine still allowed russian fuel to go through its land and onto europe? how the hell does that work?

Russia has resumed conditional crude flows via the Druzhba pipeline in full as of Monday after more than a two-month disruption over crude contamination, according to Transneft, the national pipeline operator.
“As planned, as of July 1, crude supplies have resumed in full volume applied for,” Transneft’s spokesman Igor Dyomin said. He did not specify the exact volume.
Crude supplies via the Druzhba pipeline had been partly halted since April, when heavy contamination of oil with organic chlorides, which can become highly corrosive during the refining process, was first identified in Belarus, where the pipeline splits into two lines — one going to Ukraine and on to central Europe and one to Poland and on to Germany.
Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine and Hungary have been among countries that suspended deliveries of Urals crude via the 5,500km Druzhba pipeline, a key artery in the network linking Russia’s oilfields to central Europe and Germany and one of the biggest networks in the world with 1m barrel per day capacity.
Estimates pointed at supplies of 8 per cent of the continent’s daily consumption being affected.
Transneft said in June the clean-up could take until the end of the year or beyond.
Belarus’ state holding Belneftekhim said late last month it expects contaminated crude to be fully wiped out from the pipeline stretch going through Belarus by mid-August.
While Transneft last month said crude exports had not suffered as much of the crude volume was shipped via ports, analysts believe the incident to have led to Russia’s crude export decline in the second quarter, even though flows via the southern line resumed in late May and in part via the northern line in early June.
“While this is a positive development for Russian oil exporters and their customers, we still expect Russian oil exports to be lower in the second quarter of 2019,” Moody’s analysts said in a note earlier in the day.
Russian state and company officials said at the time the contamination should not affect the country’s production. However, Russian crude output fell to 10.87m barrels a day in early June because of the tainted oil — the lowest level since summer 2016. Official output statistics for June come out on Tuesday.
