Lukashenko called fair price for gas from Russia for Belarus

He stated this at a meeting with the Belarusian ambassador to Russia Vladimir Semashko.

“As for natural gas, it’s in Europe today, and it wasn’t our minister who told me, but a major Russian businessman — we said with Sechin (head of Rosneft Igor Sechin) that he also deals with gas - gas (costs) less than $ 110 dollars. It is there, in Europe, on exchanges. So, we have it in the region up to $ 90. If you take the world price, ”BelTA quotes Lukashenko.

He noted that "$ 127 - today in the world there is no such price."

Lukashenko noted that the Belarusian position "on oil and on the supply of natural gas from Russia, at prices absolutely cleared up."

Earlier, a spokesman for the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov commented on the words of the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko that Vladimir Putin proposed to compensate for the loss of Minsk due to the tax maneuver.
