Borrell: The EU will review a number of sanctions directives, restricting transit to the Kaliningrad region

Borrell: The EU will review a number of sanctions directives, restricting transit to the Kaliningrad regionThere are reports from Brussels about the situation with the transit of Russian cargo to the Kaliningrad region and back. Recall, that this topic escalated during the week due to the fact, that the Lithuanian authorities have introduced a ban on transit by rail and for trucks on roads for a number of types of products. Metals are under the ban on transit through the territory of Lithuania, building materials, energy carriers and more.

At the same time, Vilnius stated, that he "only" fulfills the directives of the European Commission to maintain the sanctions regime against the Russian Federation. And the European Commission said, that this is “an interpretation of Lithuania itself”.

The Russian authorities indicated, what if the ban on the transit of goods from one Russian region to another and back is not lifted, then the answer may turn out to be the most rigid. The proposal was, eg, the idea of ​​​​starting long-term military exercises of the Russian Navy in the Baltic with a closure to civilian ships (for their safety, naturally…) approaches to the port of Klaipeda and other ports of Lithuania.

Today, the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, announced that, that the European Union “will review a number of sanctions directives, restricting transit to the Kaliningrad region. It could be about, that Lithuania was nevertheless pulled up by European officials, advising not to escalate the situation.

The thing is, what if the US and Britain would gladly open a second anti-Russian front, then the EU countries are clearly not ready for this, understanding, that it could just blow up the whole of Europe completely.
