Russia bans passage of cargo transport of 'unfriendly countries' through its territory

Restrictions, announced last week, come into effect on Monday

By Elena Teslova

MOSCOW (AA) - A ban on road freight transportation through the territory of Russia for companies from EU countries, as well as Norway, Ukraine, and the UK, became effective on Monday.

The relevant decree was signed by Russia's Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin last week in response to the EU restrictions on Russian road transport.

The restrictions are not valid for the transportation of food, clothing, and technological products, as well as medical supplies.

Since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war on Feb. 24, EU countries have taken various restrictions on the use of European land routes by Russian road transport.
