Gryzlov: Western sanctions contribute to the active integration of Russia in Belarus

“She (the restrictive policy of the West. -

) is pushing Russia and Belarus towards more intensive unification, more intensive integration, because it is the integrated structure that can resist Western sanctions with more confidence,” he said on the air of the Russia 24 TV channel.

Gryzlov added that a large number of Belarusian enterprises have gained access to the Russian market, the Russian state order.

Earlier, the Russian ambassador in Minsk said that Belarusian goods would be able to be exported through Russian ports instead of Lithuanian ones this year.
