“Three serious proposals regarding retaliatory measures from the Russian Federation, which may affect, among other things, the transport complex of the Baltic States ... have already been put forward.
In the event that these illegal restrictions on the transportation of goods from the Kaliningrad region are not lifted by our European neighbors, we will suggest that the federal authorities take appropriate response measures so that their actions do not go unanswered, ”he said in a video message.
On June 17, Lithuanian Railways notified the Kaliningrad Railway of the termination of the transit of a number of sanctioned goods.
Alikhanov said that the regional authorities consider this a flagrant violation of the protocols for the accession to the EU of the Baltic states and the rules of free transit.
The governor stressed that these actions are illegal and may have far-reaching consequences for both Lithuania and the European Union.
