As Baltic states move to block Russian grain through their ports, Lithuania said
it will push the EU to ban Russian grain transit and to sanction Russian
agricultural oligarchs. The Lithuanian prime minister said prior tolerance
reflected the principle that EU sanctions do not cover food; Lithuania will
propose a transit ban and support adding specific Russian agricultural figures
who back the war to the EU sanctions list. She said she has discussed the issue
with Latvia’s prime minister and both favor seeking an EU-level solution.
