The EU wants to allow Russia to transport goods through Lithuania

It is reported by Liga.Net with reference to Reuters.

Since June 17, in connection with the sanctions imposed by Brussels, Kaliningrad has been cut off from cargo and supplies that passed through Lithuania by rail and road.

Transportation of Russian sanctioned goods through Lithuania to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad could resume within days as European officials seek a compromise deal with the Baltic state to defuse the scandal with Moscow.

European officials are negotiating to free the territory from sanctions. An agreement could be reached in early July if EU member Lithuania withdraws its reservations. The negotiations are supported by Germany.

"Putin has a lot more leverage than we do. It's in our interest to find a compromise," says one European official, acknowledging that the end result may seem unfair.

The concessions can only be realized on the condition that the authorized cargoes are used in Kaliningrad and not exported through its port, where the Russian Baltic Fleet is based.
