Transportation in Belarus

  • Minsk as a Preferred Transit Hub

    BELARUS, 2015/11/08 The suspension of air traffic between Ukraine and Russia on 25 October has created a new opportunity for Belarus.

Belarus by presently has experience in profiting from a lot of sanctions and trade wars, which Russia has waged against Europe and its new allies in the post-Soviet space. It looks like the government of Belarus is hoping to gain not only short-term benefits out of the Ukraine-Russia airline conflict.
