ALERT: Belarus’ President threatens to cut off natural gas pipeline if Europe closes border

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has threatened to shut down the Yamal-Europe natural gas pipeline if EU countries close the border with Minsk.

Therefore, I would recommend that the Polish leadership, Lithuanians and other headless people think before speaking,” Xinhua news agency quoted Lukashenko as saying at a cabinet meeting here on Thursday.
