Lithuanian Railways (LTG) has stopped the transit of Russian oil products to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad as of 21 November, citing sanctions targeting Lukoil and related companies, the state-owned operator said on Thursday.

LTG said the halt follows sanctions imposed at various times by the UN, the EU, the United States and the United Kingdom on Lukoil and firms linked to it.

“From 21 November we will not carry shipments involving Lukoil and associated companies that are under U.S. and UK sanctions,” the company said in a statement.

LTG added that since 31 October it has not approved any new transit applications from Lukoil or Rosneft.

The company stressed it fully complies with Lithuanian and EU sanctions regulations and ensures proper monitoring and enforcement in its operations.

On 22 October, the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced new sanctions on major Russian oil companies and urged Moscow to agree to an immediate ceasefire.
