It is profitable for Ukraine to transport Venezuelan oil to Belarus through its territory. In the issue Kiev is basing just on economic gain. If the amount of transported oil makes its transit via pipeline profitable, then Ukraine will do it, the Ambassador of Ukraine to Belarus, Roman Bezsmertnyi, stated on August 18.

Roman Bezsmertnyi noted that Ukraine was not going to impose import duties on petroleum products from Belarus, as it may cause a rise in their prices, IA REGNUM-Belarus informs.

Furthermore, as Telegraf already reported, Roman Bezsmertnyi, stated that Ukraine did not intend to pay $134 million’s debt, demanded by Minsk. «Belarus connects the debt, formed during the collapse of the USSR, with the border issue. This is the main obstacle for the exchange of ratification instruments», Ukrainian diplomat said.
