Uzbekistan cuts gas sales abroad
Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has ordered the redistribution of gas in the republic, Sputnik Tajikistan reported on December 17.
Gas supply in Uzbekistan, according to statistics, is experiencing a shortage of 20 million cubic metres of gas per day. In this regard, Mirziyoyev ordered during a video conference to reduce gas supplies to abroad in favour of domestic consumption.
