As reported, Belarusian and Lithuanian activists discovered a chain of companies that apparently helped sell Belarusian fertilisers to Europe to circumvent EU sanctions.
Previously, the media published an investigation about how the Russian authorities made a detailed plan of the Kremlin plans to establish full control over Belarus over the next decade.
