“Kaliningrad goods that did not fall under the sanctions will be redirected by rail to release the ferries for the sanctions,” he said in a video message on Telegram.
Earlier, Russian Charge d'Affaires in Lithuania Sergey Ryabokon said that the decision of Vilnius to restrict the transit of goods to Kaliningrad would affect the social well-being of Lithuanian citizens.
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.
