Thailand May Need to Relay Exports to Russia Through Third Nations

BANGKOK (NNT) – The Thailand – Russia Business Council (TRBC) has suggested that Thailand may need to export goods to Russia through other countries.

TRBC Chairman Kriengkrai Thiennukul said Russia was hit with similar measures in 2014 when it annexed Crimea. He noted, however, that goods can still be exported to Russia through nations such as Belarus and China.
