Russia expects oil firms, Belarus to strike compromise

MOSCOW, Jan 13 (Reuters) - A resumption in Russian oil deliveries to Belarus will be decided within a week, the country’s Energy Ministry Sergei Shmatko told journalists on Thursday.

“We expect that the companies and the Belarussian side will strike a compromise,” said Shmatko.

Russian oil flows to Belarus refineries, which have a daily capacity of 360,000 barrels, have been halted while price talks continue with Russian oil companies, but oil flows to Europe through the country remain unimpeded.
