Moscow to summon EU ambassador over Kaliningrad transit ban

Russia’s foreign ministry will on Tuesday summon the European Union’s ambassador to Moscow over Lithuania’s ban on the transit of goods under EU sanctions through Kaliningrad, the governor of Kaliningrad said on Monday.

“This is, of course, a situation, that can be resolved by diplomatic means,” Anton Alikhanov told Russian television.

“As far as I know, tomorrow Marcus Ederer, the European Union ambassador to Russia, will be summoned to the foreign ministry … and he will be told of the appropriate conditions involved here.”
