“We are not talking about increasing borrowing, but about refinancing those debts that we already had,” TASS quoted Seliverstov as saying on the air of the Belarus-1 TV channel.

On December 20, 2022, Prime Minister of Belarus Roman Golovchenko said that Minsk and Moscow had come to an understanding on credit support in the restructuring of the Belarusian debt to Russian financial institutions.

He also stated that the price of Russian gas for Belarus would be set for a three-year period.
