Ushakov spoke about the preparation of a response to the blocking of Kaliningrad

The final reaction of the Russian leadership to the restriction of transit to Kaliningrad through Lithuania will be worked out in a few days, said presidential aide Yuri Ushakov.

According to an RBC correspondent, Ushakov said that Moscow would make a decision depending on the development of the situation over the next few days.

“Now this issue is in motion. In particular, certain signals come from the European Commission. <...> When communication between the regions of Russia is blocked, we, of course, cannot leave this without an appropriate answer. Now we will see what the situation will be in the coming days,” the presidential aide said.

The Kremlin urged to prepare for the worst in the situation with transit in Kaliningrad Politics

Lithuanian Railways has stopped transit deliveries to the Kaliningrad region, as well as the export from it of a large list of goods that fall under EU sanctions , since June 18. The list includes products made of iron, steel and some other metals, fertilizers, timber, wood products, glass containers, cement, natural gas liquefaction plants, iron and steel products, purebred horses, truffles and their products, cigars, perfumes and other.

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis explained that the country took this measure as part of the implementation of European sanctions that came into force on June 17, but did not impose restrictions on its own. The Kremlin considered these measures unprecedented and illegal.

The Kremlin called this decision an unprecedented and illegal step, also a "violation of everything and everything" and promised to take tough retaliatory measures.

On June 24, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov suggested "preparing for the worst" in resolving this conflict. “Let's not rule anything out. Let's hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Which is what we always do,” he said, answering the question whether Moscow admits that Vilnius will reconsider the decision.

According to him, the Russian authorities are determined enough, but will not rush to make decisions. They analyze the situation and plan to give time to "opponents" in order to find options for a settlement. “Here our correctness is absolute,” Peskov summed up.
