The decision comes into force on 7 February. Lukashenka then accused the Russian Federation in violation of international treaties.

The Rosselkhoznadzor in response to the criticism, Lukashenko said that restrictions in the supply of products from Belarus are carried out in accordance with the rules of international trade.
Also Lukashenko said Friday that Belarus appealed to the court at the reduction of Russian oil supplies. However, he said that he regarded the situation around oil and gas dispute with Russia “as a mockery”. Oil and gas dispute between Russia and Belarus lasts from the beginning of 2016, when Minsk said about the unfairness of prices for Russian gas and unilaterally started to pay for it at a lower price. Russia in turn announced a reduction of duty-free oil supplies to Belarus, linking it with both the underpayment for gas and short supply of petroleum products in the Russian Federation. In October last year, the parties, without going into detail, announced about achieving compromise. However, the dispute remains open until now.
