Putin: Russia will not subsidize the Belarusian economy through gas prices
Russia and Belarus will continue the deepening of integration within the Union state, but Russia will not subsidize the Belarusian economy. This was stated by the President of Russia Vladimir Putin at a press conference.
Responding to a question, Mr Putin said that together with the Belarusian President agreed to deeper integration within the Union state. According to Putin, he invited Lukashenko to see what can be done as part of the integration.
Putin said that the decision on establishing the Union state was the right one, but most of the tasks not yet implemented. The President stressed that despite friendly relations, Russia is not going to subsidize the Belarusian economy by supplying it with gas at Russian domestic prices. The decline in gas prices, Putin called "strange situation."
First, Belarus has the lowest rates possible for our foreign partners. Let me remind you, it's $ 127 per thousand cubic meters. In Europe for 200 dollars (for 1 thousand cubic meters. m) we sell. The yield for sales to Europe and for Belarus "Gazprom" is four times
- said the President.
He explained that the average price of gas in Russia is 70 dollars for 1 thousand cubic meters and farther from the place of production, the more the government allocates subsidies for aligning prices. In Smolensk, which wants to equate the price of gas Minsk, one of the highest subsidies from the state.
Smolensk consumes about 2 billion . In Belarus we sell 20 billion And if we all subsidize the Belarusian economy, it means that we, Russia, are subsidizing this entire primary gas, for the whole country. This issue is very strange, agree
- said Putin.
