This topic was raised during the talks between the Prime Ministers of Russia and Belarus Mikhail Mishustin and Roman Golovchenko.
“The Russian side is interested in the oil products, which are now sold through third countries, - we have the opportunity to ensure the sale of these oil products through St. Petersburg, through Ust-Luga, that is, through Russian ports,” RIA Novosti quotes Novak.
To do this, it is necessary to work out economic conditions between transport and port companies, he said.
“Actually, we will also work on this in accordance with the instructions of the Prime Minister,” the minister stressed.
Earlier, Mishustin said that progress has been made on many issues of the Russian-Belarusian agenda, including the future of the Union State.
On August 28, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko threatened to respond to countries that would impose sanctions against the republic.
In particular, he instructed the government to submit a proposal to reorient all trade flows from Lithuanian ports to others.
