Lukashenko greenlights exit option for Lithuanian-plated trucks

23.03.2026 | 12:35

Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko, having considered an appeal from Lithuanian and Polish carriers, has made a decision on the possibility of allowing freight vehicles with Lithuanian registration to leave Belarus, BelTA learned from the State Customs Committee of Belarus.


Such vehicles have been on the territory of Belarus since November 2025 due to unfriendly actions by Lithuania in closing border crossing points on the Belarusian-Lithuanian border.

Currently, more than 1,900 vehicles, including tractors, trailers, and semi-trailers, are held at specially equipped facilities. Throughout the entire period, their complete safety has been ensured.

Vehicles with Lithuanian registration will be able to leave the territory of Belarus via the Lithuanian direction in accordance with the law. Lithuanian-registered vehicles that actually belong to Polish carriers will be able to exit via the Polish direction as well, where the neighboring side is operating more actively.

The customs authorities have begun their work. As payments for storage are received from carriers, and this fee is now several times lower than that set previously, the vehicles will be able to leave.

The further speed of crossing the border depends on the actions of Lithuania. Today, the State Customs Committee sent a corresponding proposal to the Lithuanian Customs Service to increase the throughput of trucks.
