One of the oldest trade routes is from the Baltic, through Poland via the Bug, then to the Dniepr and the Black Sea by way of the Pripyat Marshes, Brest-Litovsk and Kyiv.
The rivers are navigable by sea-going ships up until you reach the Brest-Litovsk canal in the Pripyat. And Brest is in Belarus.
Is E40 River Route Connecting Baltic and Black Seas a Good Idea? - 4liberty.eu

Considering they are offering 6,000,000 rubles per contract, I can see that this "rolling compulsory mobilization" being very attractive to the Kremlin and might push some to sign up to avoid being drafted on the cheap.
