Russia and Belarus have settled their dispute over dairy imports. The countries agreed that Russia will use domestic milk powder to satisfy some of its demand, while increasing imports of other Belarusian dairy products.
The milk war was sparked some ten days ago when Moscow imposed a ban on Belarusian dairy products, claiming they didn't meet sanitary standards.
Relations between the two countries had soured, with Minsk accusing Moscow of using the milk ban as a political tool, then angrily boycotted a major meeting of former Soviet countries.

ROAR: Russian Opinion and Analytics Review, June 17This Wednesday ROAR presents opinions on Iranian domestic politics and foreign policy. |
I am so proud that Russia and Belarus have now finally settled this small but rather annoying dispute because now they can now focus on their Union matters ans strengthen their ties with each other. and I'd like to other's join this rather unique and sadly over shadowed Union because this dispute shows that the smallest thing can become a big problem but can be resolved by Political due course and patience.
if russia and belarus want to survive they shoul retain their union other wise they will be preied. by NATO. guys look at erop and NATO expanding every they 36 countries, why just russia and belarus can not be friend? its really shame and disgraceful.
