Lukashenka To Sechin: Give Some Hints How We Can Work Further On

The dictator is making overtures to the Rosneft CEO.

“Thank you for coming. There is nothing to hide – I wanted to discuss the oil situation evolving in Belarus-Russia relations with the head of the largest oil-extracting public company. I know you are aware of the situation but it would be wrong not to even consult with you about individual matters, about how we can work from now on, including with Rosneft”, Lukashenka said as he met with Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Management Board of the Russian oil company Rosneft Igor Sechin on Tuesday in Minsk, interfax.by reports.

“Because last year Rosneft supplied Belarus with nothing less than half of the oil we bought in Russia and processed here, in Belarus,” the ruler noted.

“I would like full clarity. I think since you and I have known each other for a long time, you will be able to give some hints and we will be able to come to terms on our future cooperation,” Lukashenka added.
