Russia to shut down trade missions in Ukraine, Lithuania
The Russian prime minister signed the relevant resolution on November 7.
The Russian government has decided to shut down trade missions in the Republic of Lithuania and Ukraine.
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the relevant resolution on November 7, as reported by the Ukrainian media outlet European Pravda on November 11, referring to the Russian news agency TASS.
“The government of the Russian Federation decides to liquidate the trade representation of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Lithuania and the Russian Federation’s trade mission in Ukraine,” reads the resolution.
In September 2020, Russia’s Ministry of Industry and Trade proposed that the said trade agencies be closed.

I don’t see anyone in Ukraine or Lithuania complaining too much. Perhaps these countries are not interested in trade with mafia land.

Go ahead and retreat economically. No one needs a crime syndicate as a trade partner.
Next, retreat militarily from Ukraine territories!

Ukraine has said they shut down the Russian Trade Ministry down 3 months ago. So, who cares what Russia claims it is doing?

A bit like their claims about the vaccine they so called produced, 92% immunity, one day after the US announced their results had 90%+, always late to an event.
