VILNIUS, Oct 9 - Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia proposed a European Union ban on Friday on Russian grain exports through the bloc in a letter addressed to European Council President Antonio Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
由于乌克兰对俄罗斯黑海港口发动袭击，莫斯科加大了经由波罗的海国家港口的谷物运输力度。为此，这些国家希望彻底终止此类运输。上周，爱沙尼亚率先宣布实施禁令。信函中写道："欧盟绝不能成为俄罗斯用以弥补自身侵略行为所造成经济损失的渠道。"
The Baltic states are seeking to end shipments of Russian grain through their ports after Moscow stepped up the transits in response to attacks by Ukraine on its Black Sea ports, with Estonia last week announcing the first ban "The EU must not become a channel through which Russia compensates for the economic consequences of its own aggression," the letter read.
根据爱沙尼亚政府发布的另一份声明，该国总理克里斯滕·米哈尔计划在下周的欧洲理事会会议上提出这一问题。
Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal intends to raise the issue at next week's European Council meeting, according to a separate statement from the Estonian government.
俄罗斯驻爱沙尼亚大使馆在电子邮件中表示："爱沙尼亚政府作出的决定常常引发商界及社会各界的质疑。"而俄罗斯驻拉脱维亚和立陶宛大使馆暂未对置评请求作出回应。
The Russian embassy in Estonia said in an emailed statement that "decisions made by the Estonian government often raise questions in business circles and among society" The Russian embassies in Latvia and Lithuania did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
周四，立陶宛总理明达乌加斯·辛克维丘斯提出了上述措施，并建议欧盟对支持乌克兰战争的俄罗斯农业寡头实施制裁。他在社交平台发文称："立陶宛不仅提议禁止此类过境运输，还拟将那些支持战争的俄罗斯农业寡头列入制裁名单。"
Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevicius on Thursday proposed the measure and also suggested the EU should impose sanctions on Russian agricultural oligarchs who support the war in Ukraine "Lithuania will propose not only banning such transit but also adding specific Russian agricultural oligarchs who support the war to the list of sanctioned individuals," he wrote in a post on Adds comment from Russian embassy in Estonia in paragraph 5
