But in reality, the issue of Kaliningrad does not have a unified position within the EU countries, because some of them insist or express a position on easing these restrictions. In particular, Germany. Therefore, the question will depend not only on the position of Lithuania, which, of course, deserves recognition, because it is courageous. After all, the country is located in the neighborhood of Russia, which has threatened it more than once. Now it is difficult to predict how the discussion of the European Union will end. But there will definitely not be a complete cancellation of the ban on Russian exports, because the decision was made within the framework of the EU sanctions package. Lithuania could disagree with this, as they did, for example, in Hungary. However, currently Lithuania, on the contrary, has supported the decision and does not want to cancel it,” Yakhno said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Details<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the political scientist, the decision on relaxation will also be made in view of the general security situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “I think there is intelligence data, not disclosed publicly, that studies the general sentiment towards Russia. Conditionally speaking, what Russia can use as an excuse or what actions it can resort to in the event of a decision being made. I think that these steps are also calculated and taken into account. This is not so much an export issue as a territorial issue, because Russia is interested in the Suval corridor,” the expert believes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Addition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The President of Lithuania Gitanas Nauseda announced\u00a0on his Facebook page\u00a0that Lithuania will not lift restrictions on transit to Kaliningrad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n European officials\u00a0are seeking to\u00a0conclude a compromise agreement with Lithuania to normalize the situation with the transit route through the country to Russia’s Kaliningrad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source<\/strong>:\u00a0Ukrgate<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0Regarding the issue of Lithuania’s restrictions on transit to Kaliningrad, there is no unified position among the EU countries.\u00a0However, there will definitely not be a complete lifting of restrictions, there may only be relaxations , KYIV.\u00a0UkraineGate. 13 .
