Focus: Russia agrees to build a Belarusian port in the country

Moscow time December 31, 2025, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin of Russia told the Russian state news agency:

Belarus needs to diversify its transport routes to ensure uninterrupted supply of export products, which is largely due to the sanctions aggression by the collective West and the hostile policies of Baltic neighbors. Under these conditions, Russia has provided unprecedented assistance to its ally, including agreeing to build a Belarusian port facility on our territory - in the Saint Petersburg and Murmansk regions. We uphold the spirit of alliance and strategic partnership, and work together to form a common economic space, creating new opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation. There is no doubt that Russia's construction of common transportation and logistics infrastructure benefits both countries and helps further deepen our integration with the associate states.
