MINSK, Belarus, Nov 13 (Commodity Online): Belarus said it would cut the amount of oil it gets from Russian in 2011 by 50 per cent as it looks to other suppliers, the country's president said.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said Friday that a deal with Venezuela means his country can pull back on the amount of oil it gets from Russia. "We are likely to get less than half of oil (we need) from Russia," he was quoted by Russia's state-run news agency RIA Novosti as saying. "The rest from the world markets."
