Lukashenka: Belarus provides Russia with $30 bn subsidies
The number was mentioned by the Belarusian President when he was answering questions of the heads of a number of Russian mass media.
Lukashenka noted that Russian PM Vladimir Putin often reminded about financing the Belarusian economy by means of duty-free petroleum supplies. “If you think that the single economic area and the Customs Union are bad for you – do not do it. Of course, duty-free oil is good for us. But he does not mention one more thing. We are subsidizing every Russian by selling products, and not only agricultural products, at half price to Russia. It is 30 billions instead of 2 or 4”, - informs BelTA quoting Lukashenka.
