“The response to Lithuania's decision to restrict transit to Kaliningrad is quite obvious and will be extremely painful,” RIA Novosti quotes the head of the region.
Alikhanov noted that the Lithuanian transport complex depended on Kaliningrad transit, which was a source of income for him.
According to him, now "this money will not be."
On June 20, the Russian Foreign Ministry demanded that Lithuania immediately lift the restrictions imposed on the rail transit of part of the cargo to the Kaliningrad region, adding that otherwise the Russian side reserves the right to act to protect its national interests.
