Lukashenko Refused to Crawl on His Knees in Front of Russia
Lukashenko noted that such issues should be resolved with Russia “in a business-like manner” and “not crawling on your knees”. “You shouldn’t yell, attack and so on, but you should take care of your interests. But crawling on your knees is not necessary. We must sit down and decide in a businesslike manner, ”the Belarusian president said.
The largest oil collapse in the entire history of Russia occurred at the end of April, it was then that Russia's partners began to declare a sharp deterioration in the quality of oil in the Druzhba pipeline. It was only a month to resolve the issue - on May 29, deliveries of already clean oil through the pipeline returned to normal. However, the consequences of the incident, the parties decide so far.
Foreign companies and countries expect compensation and discounts on oil supplies from Russia. Contaminated oil is pumped into reservoirs and is now partially sold at a large discount, and also mixed with pure oil in order to sell it abroad. Russia's losses from the incident are estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars. Three small regional companies were found guilty of pollution; criminal cases have already been initiated against their leaders.
