Putin discussed with Lukashenko gas transit through Belarus

The press secretary of the head of the Russian state Dmitry Peskov told RIA Novosti the news agency.

"Yes.

There was a conversation yesterday, ”he said.

Thus, he answered the question whether the Russian President raised the issue of gas transit in a conversation with his Belarusian counterpart.

Earlier, Putin said that he would discuss the issue of gas transit with Lukashenka, if the Belarusian leader “simply said it not in his hearts”.

On November 11, 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.
