According to Golovchenko, in the first ten months of this year, Belarusian exports to Russia amounted to $18 billion, which is more than the figures recorded earlier.

“I hope that by the end of the year we will have an amount of about $22-23 billion,” the prime minister said.

Earlier, Russian leader Vladimir Putin announced a breakthrough in trade and economic relations between Russia and Belarus.

According to him, the trade turnover between the two countries increased by a third and reached $38 billion.
