Lithuania will stop transporting Russian oil to the Kaliningrad region as new US and UK sanctions against major Russian energy firms Rosneft and Lukoil come into effect, LRT reported on October 31.
The state-owned railway operator (LTG) announced it will cease all shipments linked to the sanctioned companies once the transitional period for completing existing transactions ends on November 21.
“In accordance with sanctions regulations, LTG will not carry out any transport operations involving Lukoil or Rosneft, as well as their subsidiaries or entities connected to them,” the company said.
In 2024, LTG transported 371,000 tons of oil products between Russia and Kaliningrad, almost all of which originated from Lukoil. Since the start of 2025, an additional 194,000 tons of Lukoil oil have been moved along the same route.
Lithuanian Railways emphasized that compliance with Western restrictions remains a priority for the company and its partners.
Earlier, it was reported that Ukraine’s Security Service has carried out more than 160 successful strikes on Russian oil production facilities since the start of 2025.
