The Russian Foreign Ministry Wednesday said it is taking “practical measures” against Lithuania in retaliation over blocking cargo to the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad.

The spokesperson of the Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said, “As for retaliatory measures, possible counter-steps are being worked out in an interdepartmental format. Both Lithuania and the EU have been notified through their diplomatic missions in Moscow that such actions are inadmissible and that the steps taken should be overturned and the situation put back on the legal, legitimate track.

“If this fails to be done, then, of course, retaliatory moves will be inevitable. This was emphasised at all levels in Moscow.”
