The biggest horror of three Battic beggars

[Alfons]

Russia is going to redirect the transit from the Baltic republics to the Russian port of Ust-Luga, where the construction of a new universal terminal continues.
The struggle for transit in the Baltic States may turn into a "war of destruction" for the three Baltic microscopic 'states'.
The only reason Russia had three dwarfs as republics was a desire to have convenient harbors in Baltic see. Now Russia has a huge port in Ust-Luga and does not need three poor beggars ( Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania ) for ever.

Lol. Russia can't redirect marine traffic.

She should concentrate on trying to keep the Admiral Flota Sovetskogo Soyuza Kuznetsov afloat.

Russia does not need Baltic ports.

The port will still be ice bound in winter. Just a new container port.

Russia does not need Baltic ports.

And no one needs Russian ports. It will be placed under sanctions anyway.

All 'sanctions' are flashing down the toilet by Russia

The port is on the gulf of Finland. Between St.Petersburg and the Gulf of Bothnia/the Baltic. It is going to ice up in winter. They may have ice breakers to create a passage.

The EU extended its sanctions on Russia for another 6 months. The US senate is about to pass even more sanctions on Russia.

Do you think Russians are cretins and invest money in a black hole?

No.

They are building a new port. It will be a container port. It will be differentto the old port in the heart of ST.Pertersburg. Like all such new ports it will not produce a large town around it as it requires very little workers, does not have any sort of handling and distribution requirements that the old port had, does not involve repair of vessels as they need to get any none-working ship out of the way quickly.

It is still in a zone that gets iced in in winter. It will work fine for as much time in the year as the old port did. During the winter it will need a large ice breaker to create a channel all the time or accept shutting.

The new rail connections across Asia to China etc may well be a factor in its' construction as well. More trade is happening expecially by this rout.
