KYIV, Jan 8 – The suspension of oil shipments from Russia to Belarus and possible refusal of Belarus from exports of petroleum products will not cause serious problems for Ukraine, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Energy, Housing and Utility Services Andriy Gerus told Interfax-Ukraine.

"This is not a critical problem for us in winter. I don't see any serious problems for Ukraine before the sowing campaign starts. And when the sowing campaign starts we will either have settled the problem or apply diversification," he said.
