The Federation Council commented on the situation with the restriction of transit to Kaliningrad by Lithuania

“It seems to me that the leadership of the European Union has long made it clear to Lithuania that it is making a mistake,” the senator said.

Lithuania, in turn, continues to "twist its line", testing Russia's patience, Dzhabarov added.

“If this drags on, we will

immediately apply them (retaliatory measures. -

I think Lithuania is provoking the introduction of retaliatory measures... This is a dangerous game played by the Lithuanians,” the parliamentarian noted.

Earlier, the governor of the Kaliningrad region, Anton Alikhanov, specified that Lithuania did not introduce new restrictions on transit to Kaliningrad, and now the implementation of the next stage of the previously adopted sanctions has begun.

In addition, according to him, the authorities of the Kaliningrad region propose to the government to introduce a complete ban on the movement of goods between the Baltic republics and Russia, with the exception of transit

On July 11, Lithuanian media, citing customs, reported that Lithuania had expanded restrictions on the transit of goods to the Kaliningrad region, banning the transportation of cement, alcohol and other goods from Russia through its territory, in connection with the entry into force of European sanctions on them.
