He said that Belarus is negotiating with all participants in the world market, BelTA reports.
“Americans, Saudi Arabia, Emirates. I have a brilliant relationship with them. They say how much we need, we will supply as much oil. Of course, this is a world price, ”the president said.
According to him, "the quality of oil is better there."
At the same time, he emphasized that the search for possible oil suppliers, in addition to Russia, is not a bluff.
Lukashenko said earlier that the “conflict with Russia” occurred because Minsk was “required to pay more for oil than the world’s price.”
As the Belarusian leader noted, Minsk is going to strive to supply 30–40% of the required oil volumes from the Russian market.
In mid-January, Belarus announced that they had sent commercial proposals for oil imports to a number of countries, including Ukraine, Poland, Kazakhstan.
