Sales in the first half of 2023 alone exceeded $11 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with the defense ministry, the list of Bie\u0142\u0161yna\u2019s Russian customers includes companies from St. Petersburg and Nizhniy Novgorod that produce military vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customs invoices show that Bie\u0142\u0161yna supplied 2.4 million tires to Russia in 2023, journalists said, adding that the distributing company also purchased more than 2 million tires worth $90 million from Bie\u0142\u0161yna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 2023 Russian exhibition of military equipment reportedly displayed Malva self-propelled howitzers and BAZ artillery tractors with Bie\u0142\u0161yna tires. The latter can carry the S-400 missile systems that Russia uses to attack Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, the BelAZ Trading House became another Bie\u0142\u0161yna distributor. A sports club headed by Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka&#8217;s son D\u017amitryj holds a 45-percent stake in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"insert-block\">\n\n    <div class=\"insert-block__img\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"354\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pozirk_color_blank_1128x752-354x236.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pozirk_color_blank_1128x752-354x236.jpg 354w, https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pozirk_color_blank_1128x752-734x490.jpg 734w, https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pozirk_color_blank_1128x752-178x118.jpg 178w, https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pozirk_color_blank_1128x752-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pozirk_color_blank_1128x752.jpg 1128w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 354px) 100vw, 354px\" \/>                        <label class=\"insert-block__tag--mobile\"> \u041f\u043e\u043b\u0438\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0430<\/label>\n\n                <\/div>\n    <div class=\"insert-block__text\">\n                    <label class=\"insert-block__tag\">\u041f\u043e\u043b\u0438\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0430<\/label>\n                <h3 class=\"insert-block__title\">Reprisals: exiled opposition activists face criminal charges, expropriation<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"insert-block__descr\">October 9, Pozirk.
