In comments on January 11, Fradkov admitted that Russia's image as a reliable energy supplier was damaged as a result of the dispute with Belarus that this week led to a halt of Russian oil supplies going through Belarus.
The Russian oil resumed flowing late on January 10 after Belarus cancelled a new transit fee that had been imposed after Russia doubled gas prices to Belarus and imposed an oil-export duty.
