She talked about this situation Latvian tax authorities. The agency has provided checkpoint counts in recent months. They are brought by the agency RIA Novosti. Judging by this data, on one of the days, there were more than 1,200 cars queuing for passage at just two customs points. Drivers have to wait between 32 and 150 hours to cross the border.
Queues for entry into Russia are also preserved. One of the main reasons for such queues, experts cite, is the lifting of restrictions when crossing Russia’s land border. The accompanying document was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin on July 15.
Another reason is that Lithuania has blocked the transit of goods to the Kaliningrad region through its territory by rail. And Vilnius did not ban completely, but expanded the list of restrictions on the transit of Russian goods.
Rows of trucks also appeared at the exit from Latvia to Belarus. But there are fewer cars. About 350 trucks are at checkpoints.
