“There is too much maritime transport capacity in the Baltic today, so there is something to supply Kaliningrad and export goods from the region,” he wrote in his Telegram channel.
Alikhanov added that this would require subsidizing the sea tariff.
“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 stressed.
Alikhanov added that the EC's clarifications on the lifting of restrictions are expected next week.
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."
On June 25, MEP Petras Auštrevičius said that Russia was "winning so far" in the situation around Lithuania's decision to restrict transit to the Kaliningrad region.
