“I think that this is a direction, it will be implemented already this year, in the near future, and we will be able to help Belarus in the transshipment of their products, which are exported through these ports,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
He also stressed that Western sanctions only contribute to the fact that Belarus and Russia are more mutually integrated and strengthened partnership.
On February 2, Belarus announced a ban on rail transit of a group of goods from Lithuania.
This decision was made after the Lithuanian side stopped the transit of Belarusian goods through its ports.
