Queues stretching for many kilometers have formed at the border between Russia and Belarus due to a fuel shortage

Significant traffic jams are being reported at the border between Russia and Belarus. According to eyewitnesses, passing through checkpoints on the Smolensk–Vitebsk route now takes about an hour and a half, instead of the few minutes it used to take.
