The German government was outraged by Lithuania’s actions regarding the transit of goods to Kaliningrad.
Berlin demands that Vilnius lift the block on the delivery of goods to this Russian region through its territory.
About this MIA “Russia Today” with reference to the German publication Spiegel.
According to the publication, Germany does not support the ban imposed by Lithuania on the transit of goods subject to sanctions to Kaliningrad through its territory.
It is stated that “this is transport from Russia to Russia, it is allowed,” writes the author of the material.
Let us remind you that Lithuania introduced a ban on the transit of sanctioned goods on June 18. These include building materials, wood, cement, fertilizers, alcohol, etc.
The restrictions did not affect the transportation of petroleum products through Lithuania – it is allowed until August 10.
The Russian Foreign Ministry called the ban imposed by Lithuania aggressive actions that went “beyond unfriendly lines.”
The agency stated that if the blocking is not lifted, Moscow reserves the right to protect national interests.
