Russia loses $400 for every ton of oil sent to Belarus

“Russia supplied 21.2 tons of oil to Belarus last year. If we increase it to 23 million tons, it will result in additional losses for the Russian budget – we will lose $400 per every ton,” the official told Kommersant.

However, Russia does not mind “compensating” for the losses “while developing cooperation with Belarusian companies and creating joint enterprises in the field of electrical engineering and mineral fertilizers production”, Novak stressed.
