"The close work on the formation of the basis for the creation of common energy markets is underway between us, with respective Union’s programs on the formation of integrated markets signed and enforced. I am confident that unlocking the potential in the energy sector will allow forming game-changing conditions for economic cooperation and the implementation of new large joint projects," he said.
"Gas supplies will continue in 2022 due to the document signed, whereas the price of gas for the Republic of Belarus will be set by December 31, 2022," the Russian ministry said.
