Matvienko called the introduction of fees from truckers a “clumsy” decision
Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matviyenko called the introduction of fees for heavy vehicles to travel on federal highways a "clumsy" decision. “Maybe it was necessary to do it differently somehow, to include a small excise tax in the price of fuel, maybe for some other things,” she said on the air of the Russian News Service. “We need to think, perhaps more subtly, not as clumsily as we do,” the senator said.
