"Russia is taking advantage of the ports and infrastructure of Europe, including the Baltic states, to export its grains. This is an unacceptable situation that has so far been tolerated on the grounds that EU sanctions do not apply to food products. (...) Solutions are needed at the EU level. Lithuania will propose not only to ban such transit but also to include certain Russian agricultural oligarchs who support the war in the list of sanctioned individuals," Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius announced that he would propose to the European Union (EU) to ban the transit of Russian food grains through the territory of the Community and to sanction some Russian agricultural oligarchs. #GrūdųTranzitas #RusijosOligarchai #LietuvaEU (translated)

"This is an unacceptable situation that has been tolerated until now under the argument that EU sanctions do not apply to food products." M. Sinkevičius also reported that he has instructed the subordinate institutions to tighten the control of grain origin to prevent stolen grains from Ukraine or grains mixed with other grains from being transported through Lithuania. #GrūdųTranzitas #Ukraina #SankcijosRusijai (translated)

M. Sinkevičius emphasized that the situation regarding the transit of Russian grain through the ports of the Baltic States is unacceptable and requires stricter decisions at the EU level, including a ban on transit and the application of sanctions against Russian agricultural oligarchs supporting the war. #GrūdųTranzitas #Ukraina #SankcijosRusijai (translated)
