Russian Trans Minister: "sanctions .. have practically broken all logistics in our country"

https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-economy/3489018-sanctions-severe-logistical-chains-in-russia-transport-minister-acknowledges.html

Russia’s Transport Minister Vitaly Savelyev says western sanctions have led to serious problems with logistics across Russia.

That’s according to Interfax, Ukrinform reports.

"The sanctions imposed on Russia as of today have practically broken all logistics in our country. And we have to look for new logistics corridors," the official said during a visit to Astrakhan region.

According to the minister, Russian authorities expect to settle the issue with the help of the North-South transport corridor, which passes through the Caspian ports of Astrakhan on the Volga, Olya on the Volga-Caspian Canal, and Makhachkala in the Caspian Sea.


End of March-ish I claimed Russians will "see" the affects of sanctions but I didn't expect them to "feel" the effects until 3rd - 4th quarter 22.

I'm moving up that timeline just a bit after this straight from Russia's transportation ministers own mouth.
