Belarus not tapping Russian gas - energy ministry

Belarus had to switch a number of its power plants to reserve fuel, but did not tap gas from its transit pipeline after Russia cut its gas supplies by 30% on Tuesday, a spokeswoman for the republic's energy ministry said.

"Following the 30% cut to gas supplies from Russia, gas supplies to some Belarusian consumers were limited," Lyudmila Zenkovich said.

She added that full transit of Russian gas to Europe through Belarus had not stopped.
