Belarus says its oil refineries operating at half capacity

Belarusian state energy company Belneftekhim said that the country’s refineries were currently working at half their capacity and had refined 1.8 million tonnes of oil in January and February.

Belarus is locked in a row over oil supply with Russia, and flows to Belarus slowed dramatically from Jan. 1 after Minsk and Moscow failed to agree terms for supplies. (Reporting by Andrei Makhovsky Writing by Tom Balmforth Editing Gabrielle Tétrault-Farber)
