Gazprom extends gas cuts to Belarus to 60 pct

MOSCOW June 23 (Reuters) - Russia's gas export monopoly Gazprom (GAZP.MM) has extended gas supply cuts to Belarus to 60 percent of normal volumes, NTV television channel showed Gazprom's chief executive Alexei Miller as saying on Wednesday.

Miller added that transit of gas through Belarus to Europe was flowing at full volumes.

On Tuesday, Belarus moved to cut the transit of Russian gas to Europe in a debt spat with Moscow, while President Alexander Lukashenko said the two countries faced a "gas war".
