Belarus plans to suspend Russian transit gas deliveries to Europe because President Alexander Lukashenko says Moscow cut supplies in a dispute over debts. He said the neighbours were facing a “gas war” and he would resume supplies only when Belarus got $260m (£176m) in outstanding transit fees. The dispute has the potential to affect 6.25% of gas consumption by the EU. Russia had previously cut gas supplies to Belarus by 30% after they had failed to pay debts of $200m (£135m).
