According to the Russian news agency, Russian President Putin said on the 13th local time that cutting off the natural gas pipeline to the European Union through Belarus will cause huge losses to the European energy market and is not conducive to the development of relations between Belarus and Russia.
Belarusian President Lukashenko said on the 11th that the EU will consider the transportation of natural gas and goods through Belarus before imposing sanctions on Belarus. In this regard, Putin said that in theory, the president of Belarus can order the interruption of gas supply, although this is a violation of the transit agreement, and hopes that all this will not happen. But sanctions and threats against Belarus have always existed. The "Yamal-Europe" gas pipeline, which currently passes through the territory of Belarus, is one of the important pipelines for the transmission of natural gas from Russia to Europe, and the volume of gas transported by the pipeline has been increasing year by year in recent years.
