“This is a very unfortunate situation, because this conflict is with a republic, with a country with which Russia has special relations. And I would like to say that our Belarusian partners are getting Russian gas at rock-bottom prices. No other consumer pays less for Russian natural gas – no one,” said Mr Putin during the meeting.
“It’s obvious that we need real, not fictitious government supervision in high-risk industries. From now on, the Federal Service for Supervision of Environment, Technology and Nuclear Management will report directly to the government of the Russian Federation. This measure is intended to increase the agency’s independence and responsibility.”
