Lithuania relieves the embargo

According to the Russian New News Agency and the National Television of Lithuania, Lithuania has restored railway transportation to Russia's "flying land" Kalinenrase from the 22nd local time.

A spokesman for the Lithuania Railway Company said in an interview with Lithuanian National TV on the 22nd that the company has notified relevant customers to restore shipments. According to Russia Tasas, an official of Kalinenrada revealed that Lithuania has begun to coordinate the railway transportation of sanctioned goods. After restrictions, the first batch of 60 car cement will soon be transported to Kalinenrad through Lithuania.

Kaliningrad is a Russian flying land located between Poland and Lithuania. It mainly obtains goods and energy from other parts of Russia through railway and natural gas pipelines. The only railway between the two passes Lithuania.

At the beginning of April this year, the EU prohibit the transit of trucks registered in Russia. In mid -June, Lithuania announced that the embargo was applied to all transportation channels sanctioned by the EU, and Russian freight trains were not allowed to transit. In this regard, Russia has repeatedly issued a statement to protest and warns that if Lithuania does not resume transportation, Russia will make a background. Last week, the European Union stated that the transit embargo was limited to highway transportation instead of railway transportation. Lithuania should allow Russia to transport cargo such as concrete, wood and alcohol to Garinrad to the land of the EU territory.
