the President of Belarus has agreed not to discuss this sensitive subject on the phone. Lukashenko agreed to wait until the end of the event, preparation of an address to the Federal Assembly, and then to meet and talk at the table, RIA Novosti reports.
In 2019, said the Belarusian President, Putin himself raised the question of oil negotiations in St. Petersburg.
“Says: as it is so why Belarusians should buy our oil companies more than the world prices,” — said Lukashenko.
Lukashenko is dissatisfied with the Belarusian consumers have to pay a premium to Russian oil companies in the 15-16 dollars. When necessary, Minsk 24 million tons of oil in 2020, this is good money, said the President of Belarus. He believes that Putin put pressure sitting on the oil pipe dealers, who decided that, and so much to lose.
Minsk agreed to supply 80 thousand tons of oil from Norway. The quality is similar with Russian, and therefore, it is not necessary to rebuild the technological processes at Belarusian refineries. But the price was above $ 20 per ton. Lukashenka also said that talks with the United States, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on the supply of black gold at world prices.
