He recalled that the transit agreement between Moscow and Brussels is still in effect.
“Let's hope that in the near future it will be possible to reach a certain conditionally compromise solution,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
According to Chizhov, the meaning of this decision is to exclude from the sanctions regime the supply of sanctioned goods intended directly for Kaliningrad.
On June 29, Reuters, citing two sources, reported that transit through Lithuania to Kaliningrad could return to normal within a few days due to a compromise between the EU leadership and Vilnius.
On June 17, the Lithuanian Railways notified the Kaliningrad Railways of stopping the transit of a number of sanctioned goods.
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.
According to Bloomberg sources, the new package of EU sanctions will include adjustments to the rules for the transit of goods subject to sanctions to the Kaliningrad region.
