MINSK, Dec 4 (TASS) - Belarus will continue to pay for Russian energy resources in Russian rubles in 2023, Belarusian Finance Minister Yury Seliverstov said on Sunday.

"Naturally, it is advantageous [to pay in Russian rubles]. Our proceeds are in Russian rubles, so, we have no problems with that," he said in an interview with the Belarus-1 television channel.
