Klishevich: Lithuania’s grain restrictions will not affect Belarus

The Lithuanian government plans to start detaining and inspecting transit Russian and Belarusian grain transported through the port of Klaipėda. Why this will not affect Belarus in the talk show “Budni” on the YouTube channel “SBTV” and “Alfa Radio” told the Deputy of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus Sergey Klishevich, reports sb.by.

According to him, the Lithuanian side claims that grain is allegedly exported from the territory of Donbass.

- They do not know what to cling to, where to harm the Union State. They try to use the slightest contact with them – logistical, trade and economic – to complicate our lives. But in response to sanctions and unfriendly actions, we actually limited cooperation with this state, so they cannot influence us in any way. These mosquito bites will not affect anything – neither the situation nor the domestic political situation in our country. This is another bout of rabies on the part of Lithuanian politicians, said Sergey Klishevich.

He stressed that Belarus fully provides itself with grain.

- The main part of the produced grain we consume inside the country: it goes for forage and for the production of bakery products. Own production is enough to cover domestic needs. As for Lithuania’s actions, this is the standard policy of the current leaders of this state, aimed at dividing Belarus and Lithuania as much as possible, so that future generations will not have a chance to quickly restore relations between our countries and resume work. But we hope that common sense will prevail and people who want to build relations and cooperate in the interests of our peoples will come to power in this country, Sergey Klishevich concluded.
