The chairman of Gazprom board of directors Alexei Miller stated in the morning on June, 23rd that despite the Alexander Lukashenko's order, the volumes of Russian gas transit through Belarus weren't reduced. "Transit of the Russian gas through territory of Belarus is carried out in full", the head of the Russian gas monopolist informed.

The chairman of the Holding board of directors added that «consumers of the Russian gas have no problems with its delivery», NTV television channel informs.

At the same time Alexei Miller said it was bad news that the Belarusian party didn’t undertake any actions to repay the debts for Russian gas delivery.

As Telegraf informed, the president of Belarus disposed to limit transit of the Russian gas in the afternoon on June, 22nd in connection with unwillingness of Gazprom to repay accumulated from the beginning of this year debts for gas transit through Belarus.

In turn, Russia started to limit gas delivery to Belarus in the morning on June, 21st, and its reduction reached 60 % from the planned volume in the morning on June, 23rd. This is how Gazprom reacts to Minsk refusal to repay a debt for delivery in January-April, 2010.
