Nessuna notifica ufficiale da parte della Russia su una potenziale riduzione delle forniture di petrolio fino a 12 milioni di tonnellate. Lo ha detto il ministero dell’Energia bielorusso in una dichiarazione. All’inizio di quest’anno, i media russi avevano riferito i piani di Mosca per ridurre le consegne di petrolio al paese dell’Europa orientale. “ La parte russa non ha inviato alcuna notifica ufficiale”, dice la nota aggiungendo che la questione delle forniture di petrolio non è nella sfera delle attività del ministero.

The Belarusian Energy Ministry said in a Friday statement that it had not received official notification from Russia on potential reduction of oil deliveries down to 12 million tonnes. Earlier this year, Russian media reported about plans of Moscow to decrease oil deliveries to the Eastern European country. “According to several Russia’s media, the Belarusian Energy Ministry has received an official notification from Russia about a potential cut of oil delivery down to 12 million tonnes in 2017 … The Russian side has not sent any official notifications of potential reduction of oil supplies to the ministry,” the statement said. The statement added that the issue of oil deliveries was not in the sphere of the ministry’s activities. Earlier in the day, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said that the country had turned to court over Russia’s reduction in oil deliveries due to the unsolved issue on Belarusian gas debt.
