Putin commented on Lukashenka's statement on the possibility of cutting off gas in the EU

“To be honest, this is the first time I've heard about this.

I have twice talked with Alexander Grigorievich recently, he never told me about it, did not even hint, but he can, probably, although there is nothing good about it, ”he said.

Putin also added that he would discuss this issue with Lukashenka if he “just said it not in his hearts”.

At the same time, the President of Russia noted that earlier the Russian side had already faced a situation of blocking gas, but then transit to the EU was blocked by Ukraine.

Earlier, Lukashenko urged the EU to think about the transit of gas and goods that go through the territory of the republic, before deciding on the introduction of new sanctions.

The representative of the Ministry of Economy and Energy of Germany, Suzanne Ungrad, commented on the statement of the President of Belarus about the possibility of stopping gas transit through the Yamal-Europe pipeline in the event of new EU sanctions.
