Alikhanov: If Russia applies anti-sanctions, the Baltic transport complex may be infected
If Russia applies anti-sanctions, the Baltic transport complex may be destroyed. Governor of the Kaliningrad region Anton Alikhanov said:Vedomosti”that arrived and transferred to Moscow three times a year in response to the blockade of Lithuania.
“First, there are mistakes in the sanctions package along the line of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so that these restrictions are lifted. The second is the launch of new ships on the line connecting the Kaliningrad region with the main territory of Russia, as well as subsidizing maritime transport so that products do not become more expensive, ”said the head of the region.
The third way is retaliatory measures, proposals on subjects already transferred to the government of the Russian Federation and the presidential administration. They are introduced, according to Anton Alikhanov, too early.
“A gradual transfer of cargo traffic from the Baltic ports to the Kaliningrad region would only be a plus. We just grew in container transportation due to the fact that we developed it with the Chinese. It was not the Kaliningrad region that transported cargo to the Leningrad region and St. Petersburg, but Russia as a whole transported cargo, including transit cargo, to our ports in the Baltic. Therefore, the transport complex of the Baltics may be banned if Russia applies anti-sanctions against goods that go to and from the Baltics,” the governor summed up.
