Russia's Gazprom starts cutting gas supplies to Belarus

MOSCOW, Jun 21 (PRIME-TASS) -- Russian natural gas giant Gazprom started cutting gas supplies to Belarus at 10 a.m. Moscow time on Monday, Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller told television network Rossiya 24.

Miller said supplies would initially be cut by 15% and the reduction would be gradually increased to 85%.

Sergei Kupriyanov, a Gazprom spokesman, said supplies could technically be cut by 85% within several hours. Earlier in June, Gazprom said it would cut gas supplies to Belarus unless it paid a U.S. $192 million debt.
