Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin met with Gazprom CEO Aleksei Miller on June 24 to discuss the Russian gas monopoly's latest dispute with Belarus, BelaPAN reports.
Mr. Miller announced that gas deliveries to Belarus had been restored to the full volume on Thursday morning.
"We have received a letter from the first deputy prime minister of Belarus who demands that we pay for Russian gas transit through Belarus' territory on terms that are inconsistent with the contract," he told Mr. Putin.
The prime minister said that the situation "deserves much regret" as "this is a dispute with the country with which Russia has special relations."
