Belarus says restarts pipeline flow of Russian oil

MINSK, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Belarus has restarted the flow of Russian crude oil across its territory, the operator of a major transit pipeline said on Wednesday, after reaching a compromise with Moscow to end a three-day stoppage.

"Belarus started transit shipments of crude at 11:35 p.m. Moscow time (2035 GMT)," said Alexei Kostuchenko, general director of Gomeltransneft Druzhba.

"We have told Russian pipeline monopoly Transneft that, according to an agreement reached earlier, the pumping of oil has started to Poland, Germany, Ukraine, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary."
