On 6 June 2018, the Rosselkhoznadzor restricted the supply of milk and certain types of dairy products to Russia from Belarus.

Thanks to the agreement signed soon, deliveries from a number of Belarusian enterprises were allowed.

In January 2019, the board of the Eurasian Economic Commission informed the Russian Federation about the need to comply with the agreement on the EAEU while restricting the supply of certain categories of dairy products from Belarus.
