Soobshchestbo Zheleznodoroznikov Belarusi) Telegram channel, the tank car in question was not allowed into Lithuania from Belarus on November 8 due to it bearing the Z symbol – the main symbol of public support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The cargo (fertilizers or fertilizer components), was sent by a Russian company to Lithuania via Belarus, said Lithuanian customs, The Insider reports.

Lithuanian customs officers said they would not allow the cargo with the symbol of Russian aggression to pass through and turned the tank car around.
