Latvia and Lithuania are considering stopping the transit of Russian grain through their ports

Latvia and Lithuania are considering the possibility of stopping the transit of Russian grain through their ports.

The Prime Minister of Lithuania said that the transit of grain between the Kaliningrad region and other regions of Russia will not be affected by restrictions if they are introduced.

MOSCOW, September 5 – RIA Novosti. Latvia and Lithuania are allegedly considering stopping the transit of grain from Russia through their ports, Reuters claims, citing officials.

“Latvia and Lithuania are considering stopping the supply of Russian grain through their ports,” the report says.

According to sources, including the press secretary of the head of the Latvian government, on Tuesday Riga is allegedly going to discuss a complete ban on such routes.

At the same time, Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius told the agency that if restrictions are introduced, grain transit between the Kaliningrad region and other regions of Russia through the Baltic republic will not be subject to them.

Russia has repeatedly noted that the country will cope with the sanctions pressure that unfriendly states began to exert on it several years ago and continue to increase. In the West itself, opinions have been voiced more than once that restrictive measures are ineffective.
