Belarus outruns Ukraine in trade volume with Russia
Last year, our country got the 1st place in real trade volume with Russia among the CIS countries for the first time ever.
Deputy Minister for Economic Development of Russia Alexey Likhachiov has said this. According to him, the trade volume between Ukraine and Russia made more than 45 billion dollars last year, while the trade volume between Belarus and Russia was a little bit less than 45 billion dollars.
However, says Likhachiov, as the specialists do not "see" about 5% due to the absence of customs border, Belarus got to the first place for the first time ever, informs UNIAN.
