Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Saturday liquefied natural gas supplies to earthquake-stricken Japan should be stepped up if requested.
Japan "is our neighbor, a friendly neighbor and...we should do all we can to help with energy supplies due to [Japan's] waning capacities as a result of an earthquake and tsunami," he said at a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin and Emergency Situations Deputy Minister Ruslan Tsalikov.
