As of 10 October, Russia is halting all freight traffic on its territory, by companies registered in hostile countries. The ban affects carriers from the EU, the UK, Norway and Ukraine. Dimitar Dimitrov from the Chamber of Bulgarian Road Hauliers said, for the BNR, that drivers have been given 7 days to unload their cargo at listed logistical facilities. Only vehicles carrying freight from a special list, which the Russian side has deemed it needs, will be allowed inside Russia. According to Dimitrov, this sanction affects Bulgarian businesses and road hauliers, and benefits competitors from Serbia and Moldova.
