DW: Kremlin vows not to cut gas supplies to EU 

The Kremlin seemed to distance itself from a threat made by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko amid a standoff with the European Union.

Kremlin spokesperson Dimitry Peskov on Friday assured that Russia will keep supplying gas to Europe.

The comment was in retaliation to possible EU sanctions over a standoff over migrants stranded on the Belarus-Poland border.

"This is a statement by the president of Belarus," Peskov said, noting that "Belarus is our ally, but it is a sovereign state."
