Queue of trucks at Russian-Lithuanian border: what happened?

29 июня 2022

A queue of trucks has accumulated at the Russian-Lithuanian border due to the transit blockade of Kaliningrad. During the last day it shifted by less than two kilometers. 

There are 220 trucks in the jam. According to drivers, the stoppages are associated solely with the enforcement of the Lithuanian customs sanctions imposed by the European Union.

Since June 18, Lithuania banned rail transit of a large list of goods subject to the EU sanctions to Kaliningrad Region from other regions of Russia and back.
