“The solutions found in relation to freight railway transportation can only be considered as intermediate, the situation is still far from normal,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
Isakov noted that the worst development of events around transit to Kaliningrad was avoided.
Earlier, Russia sent a note to the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry due to the fact that the Lithuanian Siauliai Bank, through which transactions were carried out with transit to the Kaliningrad region, announced the termination of work with Russia from September 1.
Lithuanian Minister of Transport Marius Skuodis said that the decision to stop accepting payments from Russia, which could lead to a stop in transit to Kaliningrad, is made by the banks themselves and the state cannot influence them in any way.
