The Ukrainian Armed Forces' strikes on the oil refinery left Russia without fuel.

Trade between Moscow and Minsk grew by 12.5% over the past five months. This was announced by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin during a meeting with Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. Lukashenko assured that Belarusian partners are ready to continue fulfilling their obligations regarding the supply of goods, including fuel.

“I want to say that our mutual trade volume is growing steadily... And I hope that, while maintaining these growth rates, we can further improve its structure,” Mishustin said.

The Russian prime minister noted that the countries are carrying out many joint projects in the field of industrial cooperation. Issues related to digitalization and electronics also remain on the agenda, including the mutual recognition of electronic digital signatures.

Lukashenko thanked Mikhail Mishustin and the Russian government for the “impeccable fulfillment of their obligations” to the regime. The usurper, for his part, assured that all obligations are being fulfilled and will be fulfilled “from minor details concerning fuel—diesel, various types of gasoline, and so on… to serious systemic issues.”
