“Let's face it, the restriction of transit is part of the very “war of proxy” that the West unleashed against Russia.
Naturally, Russia will take retaliatory measures, and they will be very tough, ”he said in an interview with the Argumenty i Fakty newspaper.
According to Medvedev, a significant part of the possible retaliatory steps is of an economic nature and "is capable of cutting off the oxygen to the Baltic neighbors who have taken hostile actions."
On June 17, the Lithuanian Railways notified the Kaliningrad Railways of stopping the transit of a number of sanctioned goods.
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said that lifting restrictions on transit to the Kaliningrad region is the prerogative of the EC.
Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that Russia is determined to resolve the situation with the transport blockade of Kaliningrad by Lithuania.
According to him, Moscow's position is communicated to the state through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
