European Union High Commissioner for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell spoke of “the European Union’s obstruction of the movement of goods between Russia and Kaliningrad”, arguing that “the steps taken by the European Union do not constitute a blockade of the Russian boycott”.

He explained during his speech in Brussels that “the situation with Kaliningrad is not a blockade, and we need to control in order not to allow the sanctions imposed by the European Union to be circumvented, and this must be done simultaneously, and this is possible.” .”

Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev believed that “Lithuania violates a number of international legal measures affecting the obligations of the European Union by initiating a blockade of the Kaliningrad region.” The railway company stops the crossing of a number of sanctioned cargoes, the Kaliningrad region has already submitted three proposals in response to the Lithuanian decision.
