The source explained why the ban on transit from Lithuania will not affect Russia

The decision of the Belarusian authorities to ban the rail transit of some goods from Lithuania will not affect the interests of Russia, since they are not delivered there. It is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to a source in the Belarusian authorities.

“These groups of goods are not supplied to the Russian Federation, which, on the contrary, is their exporter. In this regard, the measures do not affect Russian interests,” he said.

According to the interlocutor of the agency, such decisions "are always discussed by the allies."

Earlier it became known that Belarus imposed a ban on rail transit from Lithuania for a group of goods against the backdrop of how the Lithuanian side stopped the transit of Belarusian goods through its ports.

Lithuania stopped accepting Belarusian trains with potash fertilizers, which follow to the port of Klaipeda. In this situation, Minsk redirected the supply of potassium chloride to Russian ports.
