Delivering products to Belarus and Russia has also become significantly more difficult, it is reported. All EU states bordering Russia have banned Russian and Belarusian flights from their airspace and transporting goods to their destination by road is extremely difficult. Problems with Russian customs have further exacerbated this situation.
