Belarus blames Russia for oil supply disruption

MINSK, Jan 8 (Reuters) - Belarus denied halting shipments of Russian crude oil to Europe on Monday, saying supplies had been disrupted because Moscow had cut the pressure in the Druzhba pipeline system.

"Belarus did not halt Russian oil flows across its territory to third countries," the Belarussian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

"Pressure at the beginning of the Druzhba pipeline on Belarussian territory was lowered. This was not the fault of the Belarussian side."
