Russia resumes gas supplies to Belarus

Russia is resuming gas supplies to Belarus now that it has paid its debt of nearly $200m (€162.2m) for previous shipments, the Kremlin said today.

The Kremlin said that Alexei Miller, the chief of Moscow’s state-controlled natural gas giant Gazprom, has reported to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that the company has decided to fully resume supplies to Belarus.
