“An attempt to establish an actual blockade of the Kaliningrad region by Lithuania is a violation of Russia’s sovereignty over this region and may be the basis for very tough and absolutely legal actions on the part of Russia,” he wrote on Telegram.

According to Senator Andrey Klimov, if the EU does not correct Lithuania's "impudent trick" that banned the transit of almost half of the cargo to the Kaliningrad region, then Brussels will disavow the legitimacy of documents on Lithuania's EU membership for Russia and will "untie its hands" to solve the problem of Kaliningrad transit "by any ways."

On June 17, Lithuanian Railways notified the Kaliningrad Railway of the termination of the transit of a number of sanctioned goods.
