“Based on the explanations of the European Commission, the Lithuanian authorities decided to resume the movement of transit trains with goods in the Kaliningrad direction.
We believe that it is too early to evaluate this decision, the main thing is how this procedure will be implemented in practice, ”he said at a briefing.
On July 26, 60 wagons of cement from Russia arrived in Kaliningrad in transit through Lithuania.
On July 22, it became known that the Lithuanian Railways (Lietuvos gelezinkeliai) company is resuming the transit of goods to the Kaliningrad region, which were previously included in the sanctions list of the European Union.
Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov, in turn, said that the unblocking of the transit of Russian goods through Lithuania is a positive fact.
