Belarus says suspends Russian gas transit to Europe

MOSCOW, June 22 (Reuters) - Belarus is suspending Russian transit gas deliveries to Europe after Moscow increased gas supply cuts for Belarus, President Alexander Lukashenko told reporters.

He said Russia and Belarus were now facing a full-fledged "gas war" and said he would not allow transit supplies to resume before Moscow redeems its debt to Minsk for gas transit.
