Ever since sanctions it was obvious that Belarus would try to play that by modification of imports from Europe for re-exports to Russia. We said nope and Lukashenko a bit angry, but we been throught that soo many times, and it's not like [B]ANYONE[/B] in Europe want him to join. All safe, he will get contract on fuel products he desired soo much and his stache will be smiling again.
