the restrictions on transit through lithuania apply not only to rail, but also to road transport, and somehow suspiciously synchronously with the new bans , a huge traffic jam has formed on the russian-lithuanian border. there are about 150 of them here. there is an assumption that the current problems of russian truckers are at the border. this is just an additional bonus from the lithuanian authorities to the ban on the transit of trucks standing in line do not carry goods from the sanctions list, at least their driver is very confident about this, and many heavy trucks generally leave kaliningrad empty

lithuanian customs officers actively deployed russian truckers, only the first 2-3 days. after the emergence of new bans on transit now. there is simply no reason for this. you see here in general a lot of people are turned around. i don't know, now our four cars went on the last flight, where did they come from moscow and turned around with metal? and they went back to moscow to unload. the truck driver we spoke to at the russian-lithuanian border. at that time they stood been in line for about a day. and judging by the speed with which this traffic jam was moving, at least. the same number of truckers had to spend in it. well, it sort of melted away. here is one time. now. here again it is going on the sly, the campaign, the lithuanians deliberately slow down. it seems that everything started with x-rays for them all in a row for x-rays, they drove here then they

stood there, already to carry kolya. you illuminate everything. yes, in car. it's not 5 minutes there, that is, each car, while back and forth. it's all worth it here, in fact, there are no objective reasons for such queues to now appear on the russian lithuanian border. just no number of trucks. those wishing to cross the checkpoint can’t exactly be called prohibitive, and most likely, this traffic jam appeared due to a sharp slowdown in the speed of the lithuanian customs and it’s not hard to guess. why did this happen over the past day 233 vehicle was allowed to enter the russian federation to exit 230 vehicle. first, new shifts 12 are framed for entry and 13 for exit. in connection with the not very rhythmic fence, there is an

accumulation of queues from the marginal side. you see about 150 vehicles standing in front of the checkpoint, there are about 30 vehicles on the border side. speaking about kaliningrad transit, it should be noted that lithuania passes russian cargo through its territory. not just out of kindness, but firstly, because, for example, lithuanian railways are excellent they earned and are earning on this very transet, and secondly, there are obligations not to impede transit, both in bilateral agreements between russia and in agreements between russia and the european union. first commitment. this is not only lithuanian but also uh obligations of the european union crime of the baltic states in the eu does not have visits were legal obligations. they are recorded in the documents in no way impede any transit of people, or, respectively, cargo and or energy to our region, so, uh, of course,

legal obligations. they violated their own with such decisions. this is the first the second who violated, because here there is such, uh, a certain feeling of information flow warehouses . yes, then the lithuanians say that no, this is the european commission for us. made me. so the first. uh, this decision was made by the european commission. uh, decisions in the european commission are made by consensus by voting all 27. yes, eu members, that is, lithuania, of course, is responsible for the decisions that were made by the european union, because it voted for them, uh, and all the more strange that lithuania forgets about its closest neighbors in the face of our region, and they should remember about the uh factor kaliningrad transit and about the peculiarities of our region, therefore these excuses. in my opinion, well sounds weak victor fominsky director of logistics of the largest

transport operator in the kaliningrad region, which is now being urgently rebuilt the company specializes in road and rail transport and is now forced to. how to reduce the number of vehicles that go to large russia and offer customers combined transportation options both by rail and sea. in fact, the situation is very tense, and, of course, the republic of lithuania has added additional problems, but in fact the situation has been difficult for several months now. that is, we are adapting every day to the newly emerging restriction, we will come up with new schemes for the delivery of goods, so ah, the situation with lithuania, of course, for us, but it was definitely a surprise, but frankly speaking, we

were ready for this, so we continue our work. we are forced. unfortunately, taking uh a lot of new actions to restore the supply chain reassures customers, but in general the company continues to work and i am sure that we will take out all the goods of our customers one way or another. in fact, the problems of kaliningrad logistics companies with the transportation of goods through the territory of european countries began even before lithuanian ban on transit but then these problems concerned transportation between countries, and between regions of one state, as fominsky says 3 months ago. poland, on a formal pretext, actually stopped the transit of russian goods. moreover, these cargoes have not been subject to sanctions since march. we felt the first restrictions associated with the fact that we could not carry it. uh, export cargo from beyond kaliningrad to europe, since, uh, the customs authorities of poland imposed a-a

requirements, increased control over all, exported exported goods, and the territory of the kaliningrad region and these requirements could not be met. and the so-called full inspection of cargo with full unloading at border crossings. e, poland kaliningrad on the polish side there is no infrastructure for these events, that is, our practice shows that once we have come across, and follow these requirements, let's say. eventually. eh, this resulted in the cost of one container of about 10,000 euros, it took several days. that's when we are talking about a whole train of 44 containers. we we understand that this is simply not possible. the factory

of the famous kaliningrad entrepreneur max ibragimov is engaged in the production of luxury furniture, mainly to order. ibragimov runs this business. it's been 30 years now. and, of course, all processes here are somehow tied to uninterrupted logistics, some component enterprises import from other countries, including some european ones from different regions of the country, and finished products are already going in the opposite direction. well, we have enough topas for now place, one and a half or two. still, we stocked up. yes , well, i think, during this time in a month and a half , something will probably be decided. there is no need to panic, because we will panic from the fact that we will do it. yes , and nothing will change. i think that we will arrange the logistics anyway, because the human thought works well. here we find it ahead of the curve.

uh, we pick up our cargo from europe through other countries and find it. we still go around anyway because people are like that they always come up with something, and we do it, we will skip to the beginning of last year almost all of its cargoes of the ibragimov company transported a level, in order to get, say, to moscow from kaliningrad, the car must first pass the russian lithuanian border, then the lithuanian belarusian border and again enter russia through the territory of belarus in the second half, 20. this lithuanian customs reacted very sensitively to the change political conjuncture and huge queues appeared on the border of the baltic country with belarus. such that the cars stood for several days from about that moment the company ibragimova began transporting about 70% of her cargo by sea. and it has already begun, not now. and it started about a year and a half ago. that's all the interruptions. uh,

deliveries. there, in the queue at the borders there , we already gradually switched to the ferry a year ago, because it was yes, longer and more expensive . you see, not so kaliningrad lithuanian, but there were cars for 10 to 15 days according to the results of the past year by road. almost 3 million tons were transported kalinin about 10 million tons of cargo was brought by the railroad the situation with the ban on transit through lithuania almost half of the goods that went to the kaliningrad region or in the opposite direction, the only alternative to the railroad is the sea route now on the service route, baltiysk then there are four ships operating from the leningrad region to the kaliningrad region, and it is clear that in the near future the number of such

ferries should increase significantly in 40 km from kaliningrad comes most of the cargo that is sent by sea from big russia, the number of ships on the service line, baltiysk at first doubled in 2022, six months ago two cargo ferries operated on the route. and at the end of january they put into operation here. the new ship marshal rokossovsky e, the railway ferry transports goods in railway wagons, and also, depending on the free area of ​​​​its cargo decks, and rolling equipment, trucks, cars , any construction equipment, that is, conditionally speaking, all these ferries are able to transport. uh, here, that list, uh, means goods that are called sanctions. yes real ferries

can carry any kind of cargo. uh, starting with consumer goods, ending with liquid cargo in railway tanks. fuel and lubricant. for example, the fourth vessel on the service route, the baltiysk dry cargo ship ursa meydzher. it was transferred to the baltic from the black sea in april of this year, there is practically no rush demand, but the ferries operate with a 100% load, the multifunctional vessel ursa meydzher has a reserve for e, loading. and now work is underway to attract additional cargo there. can it still in the state or technical capacity of the port? so to speak. as an increase in electricity supply of goods, the technical capacity of our ferry terminal allows us to receive additional ferries and

additional ferries. apparently, if the current situation with the ban on transit through lithuania does not change, the four ships currently operating on the route will not be able to transfer the entire volume of sanctions cargo. the fifth comes out on friday. here in this one, and on the line, according to various estimates, from three to six ships. you may need these here in the baltic and we are actually already working with the ministry of transport and with carriers. actually the fifth ship. i already said it's out. and here are some more ships. they are preparing to put on a line that will serve the port or the leningrad region to connect with our region and the large port of st. petersburg. it will also connect with kaliningrad, respectively, this volume should not be enough. in addition, as

anton alikhanov, governor of the kaliningrad region, says , the optimization of cargo traffic is also carried out manually, that is, the so-called non-sanctioned goods are transferred from sea transport to the railroad, and sanctioned goods, respectively, in the opposite direction, it is clear that in the first few days of the ban on transit through lithuania with a huge list of goods, no real shortage in any industry could physically appear. well, as is often the case, prices for some positions rose simply because of panic. representatives of the construction business were the first to feel this in kaliningrad. aleksey snegur restores historical buildings and builds low-rise housing. he says cement prices in the region soared in just a couple of days. the price changes and because of this it is impossible to add up the cost of construction and it is impossible to predict. that is, for example, uh, roughly speaking, if an apartment is being built here, here, uh, low-rise construction and apartment buildings. yes, that is, it is very difficult now to deduce the cost

square meter, because it is not clear how much we will buy cement tomorrow, that is, or 200 rubles. or 500 or 1,000 the mechanism of a sharp rise in prices for a variety of goods is always similar, something similar happened with sugar, all over the country. at the end of february at the beginning of march, the panic of rush demand and suppliers who hold goods, thereby disperses the price of large suppliers that they start. well we are facing. i can, well, i won't call. but that means they have the material, they don't sell it. uh, specially hold on warehouses. why because what does it mean? uh, they are afraid that they will not be able to start. this is the second time, even if they put it out they bought it, they bought it at the old price somewhere in russia, yes, they immediately set a new price here, the situation with cement is, unfortunately, not exactly new for us.

we had the same situation in march until the beginning of april, it lasted, because many were frightened by these same sanctions. and, for example, they did not carry cement. uh, by rail. for some reason, they could not get on the ferry there, and the cement was very strongly. first, you are appraised. secondly, some speculation began. someone would buy a large amount. there i resold through online stores and used it all, and uh, we had to manually just with a eurocent and with one of the big buyers in the region to resolve the issue of establishing supplies, setting up packaging in the region immediately and start selling in one of the large stores, yes, and then immediately all the other stores also, so to speak, followed this example and began to exhibit in the correct way. well, let's say the market price, uh goods in the store. so i can repeat this again. uh, we might have some uh little delays. uh, in order to

bring an additional line here, but we definitely won’t allow any kind of deficit. that is, this is not the situation when you have to wring your hands and say to shout everything is gone. it's quite manageable. eh, problem. it's unpleasant, but that doesn't mean it can't be overcome. we will definitely solve it and we are already solving it. if we take out the signs of recent times, huge queues at the border with lithuania and other many hours of inspection of goods, then, compared with the railway or motor transport, the delivery time by sea is noticeably longer, and the price of services is much higher, but in the current situation for the kaliningrad region. this is perhaps the most reliable and stable mode of transport, despite the transfer cost up to two times. e-e will be more expensive, and transportation by sea-e ferry. well, at the same time, to the central part of russia, relatively speaking, there is to moscow and to the moscow region compared to land, but cargo, but this is the average figure again

some product groups are larger, some are smaller. we are working. of course, we assume that there will be a difference. e, pro subsidized and our business e or people. actually. most importantly, yes, those who live in the region should not feel through the change on july 23, the head of european diplomacy, joselle, made a significant statement about that. that the eu will check sanctions directives restricting transit to kaliningrad but even if nothing changes and the situation remains as it is today, no global deficit goods to the westernmost region of the country, while not exactly expected. what are the threats in the sky? putin and lukashenka sees aggression why is it already about nuclear weapons? only our viewers will know the details of the

most important meeting that usually gets into the frame. but if you raise your head a little, putin has already warned in this hall, the west would be better not to bring conflicts, what now. shoigu's conversation the kaliningrad issue can be provided with an unconditional transit when, during an ideal relationship, it returns us to times of cold war europe tried to cut off the region shifted to some margin of european politics, what did russia do then and what is it doing? now and the key events of the week, we know more than the rest always moscow kremlin putin watch on sunday at 22:00. summer will be interesting, i agree. you ask summer will be exciting.

the summer will be breathtakingly similar to the premiere in the world was not. summer will not be boring. what are you watching me like for the first time you and this minute of 200 hours of premier watching watching in the summer in the application or on the website watching.
