The head of the region announced this in his Telegram channel. 

“The European bureaucracy is not inferior to the Soviet one, but even surpasses it.

Numbers of packages of sanctions will soon go to tens.

They got themselves entangled in them,” he said. 

Alikhanov commented on Lithuania's restriction of transit for Kaliningrad.

“There is too much sea transport capacity in the Baltic today, so there is plenty to supply Kaliningrad and export goods from the region.

Yes, we will need to subsidize the sea tariff, but this is a technique.

Our country will allow itself this, and will allow itself programs for the development of the region.

We are a very strong country, ”the governor sees such a way out of the situation that has developed due to restrictions.

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

Alikhanov said that the EU could give the Lithuanian authorities new clarifications so that they "do not apply restrictions on the first four packages for Kaliningrad transit."
