Is Lukashenka turning his coat? Belarus is taking distance to Russia: TASS in Russia reports that Belarus has banned eg cars, locomotives, refridgerators, fuel elements and very extensive list of other goods from being exported to Eurasian Economic Union (which is very much a treaty in between Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia. The only country with which Belarus has any border is Russia).
Ban is valid for six months starting today.
In essence Russia can't expect much help from Belarus. I would be intreated to know what the country leaders of former Soviet states agreed in Samarkand behind Putins back...
