What’s happening with Russia’s crippling supply chains?
Russian and Belarusian trucks are stuck in traffic at the European Union’s eastern borders as strict sanctions come into effect
Major trucking and shipping companies now have grave fears the measures will send a sector already on the brink of collapse to breaking point.
Transport vehicles in Poland are waiting in customs lines stretching for 40 kilometres and have been waiting there for between three and 10 days.
The newly-imposed ban prohibits all trucks operated by Russian or Belarusian companies from entering or remaining in the EU.
There are exemptions for hose carrying food, medicine, mail or energy.
The deadline is all part of the EU’s latest attempt to punish Russia and Putin for the ongoing invasion of Ukraine, but the consequences could be far more wide-ranging as supply chains are stretched to their limits.
It’s unclear what will happen to thousands of other trucks from the two countries estimated to still be on EU territory.

Major stock indices rise slightly; 10-year Treasury yield hits 4.23% amid Fed Chair speculation, affecting small and mega-cap stocks.
All major stock indices are starting the week slightly higher, giving investors cautious optimism. Analysts are keeping an eye on movements in small caps and mega-cap tech stocks amid these early gains.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note has climbed to 4.23%, the highest since last September. This follows Kevin Warsh emerging as the frontrunner for the next Federal Reserve Chair, sparking speculation on future monetary policy.
Rising yields could trigger a pullback in small-cap stocks, while investors may pivot toward mega-cap tech, expected to deliver strong earnings growth. Overall, the market is likely to see a neutral to slightly bearish trend next week due to overbought conditions.
