“One of the most sensitive for Lithuania, if we are talking about economic measures, is the restriction of the work of their trucking companies that are engaged in cargo transportation and transport our goods, including from Russia to the Kaliningrad region and vice versa,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
Ryabokon also noted that Russia has the opportunity to proportionally respond to the restriction of transit to the Kaliningrad region by Lithuania.
Earlier it was reported that Lithuania expanded restrictions on the transit of goods to the Kaliningrad region, banning the transportation of cement, alcohol and other goods through its territory from Russia in connection with the entry into force of European sanctions on them.
The representative of the European Commission, Dan Ferry, at a briefing in Brussels later noted that the EC did not give Lithuania any new clarifications on transit to the Kaliningrad region.
