According to the official, after checking the information and reviewing camera footage in Lithuania, it was found that exactly this number of vehicles remains blocked.
Among them, 91 vehicles and 49 trailers belong to the Linava association, and another 28 vehicles and 17 trailers belong to other owners. Some of the vehicles have Russian license plates.
According to the representative of Lithuanian customs, previously, when the Linava association was asked to clarify the number of vehicles blocked in Belarus, it named approximately 500 trucks.
However, Linava itself claims in public statements that allegedly about 4 thousand vehicles remain on the Belarusian side, including approximately 1.25 thousand semi-trailers.
In turn, Prime Minister's advisor Ignas Algirdas Dobrovolskas called on carriers to be honest and provide accurate information, as this could significantly speed up the return of equipment to Lithuania. He emphasized that the authorities are not against carriers, but on the contrary, strive to help, but for this, real data is needed, not figures that look like manipulation.
Dovilė Kraulaidienė also noted that recently, increasingly long queues have been forming at checkpoints for exit from Lithuania to Belarus: about 500 semi-trailers were waiting to pass through Medininkai (Kamenny Loh on the Belarusian side), and about 300 through Šalčininkai (Benyakoni).
She added that more trucks with Lithuanian license plates are leaving Lithuania than entering, but, apparently, some of them are returning through other checkpoints.
Meanwhile, at a meeting of the Security Council today, Alexander Lukashenka demanded that Lithuania start negotiations without intermediaries and proposed buying out perishable goods from Lithuanian carriers. In addition, he put forward several demands to Lithuania: return fire trucks intended for Zimbabwe, restore the normal operation of the sanatorium in Druskininkai, and return the money invested in the construction of the port in Klaipėda.
