“From 00:00 tomorrow, they stop transit from the Kaliningrad region and to the Kaliningrad region from other regions of Russia of a large list of goods that are subject to European sanctions,” he said in a video message on Telegram.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko called reports of a possible blockade of Kaliningrad playing with fire.
