First Deputy Prime Minister of Belarus Vladimir Semashko said that July 1, Ukraine would resume electricity supplies to Belarus, suspended in May. "We're resuming electricity supplies with Ukraine, which is advantageous for us in certain circumstances. Electricity will go from Russia in a couple of days, too," Vladimir Semashko assured.

First Vice-Premier of Belarus has recently held talks with his Ukrainian counterpart, promising to pay for electricity by July 15. However, according to Vladimir Semashko, Belarus will be able to pay off sooner, BelTA informs.

According to Telegraf, in May Belenergo faced with an acute shortage of foreign currency to pay for electricity imports from Russia and Ukraine. State-owned company Ukrinterenergo halted electricity export due to Belarus’ $35 million debt.
