July 13, 2022 at 16:01 EU lifts blockade of Kaliningrad Russia can still transport goods via the EU to Kaliningrad, the EU Commission has decided. On June 17, Lithuania imposed a blockade on all freight transport to Kaliningrad, the Russian exclave on the Baltic Sea bordering Lithuania and Poland. This is as a result of the sanctions the EU has imposed on Russia after the invasion of Ukraine. Russia can continue to transport sanctioned goods by train via EU countries to Kaliningrad, it is stated in an announcement from the EU Commission on Wednesday. This does not apply to goods that can be used for military purposes, and the blockade of freight transport by road will not be lifted either, it is emphasized. (NTB)
