Lukashenka: We cannot raise petrol price at current oil price

At the Monday's meeting, Aliaksandr Lukashenka banned to raise petrol and fuel prices, while oil prices are low.

"Nobody will allow in the current situation to increase prices for gasoline, diesel fuel at such low oil prices,  said the head of state. - People are already asking the questions: our fasoline prices are the same they were when oil cost 100 USD per barrel and remained the same even after the oil price fell four times."

But the head of the country noted that the oil refineries suffer losses, if prices are not raised.

By order of Lukashenka, the prices of fuel, bread and milk have been returned in the past.
