MINSK (Reuters) – Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Tuesday his country’s budget had been deprived of 1.5 billion Belarusian roubles ($700 million) due to oil disputes with Russia.
Relations between Minsk and traditional ally Russia are strained. The two countries earlier this year failed to agree an oil supply contract.
