Exactly this.
It's not like Lithuania is doing anything on it's own- we merely follow the sanctions imposed by the EU.
I was also wondering why we can't just cut the transit completely but apparently there are some international laws that you have to allow it.

Would completely cutting the main supply lines for food and meds etc not constitute a crime against humanity? I don´t know how long it would take to organize relief shipments from St. Petersburg and if it would even be possible to ship food for nearly 1 mill people on short notice to Kaliningrad. Certainly the weak (physically and/or financially) would suffer massively from such a move.

Are there ones for exporting grain to Africa?.....

The Russian's are milking the Lithuania thing for all it's worth.
It's not an embargo on transit of all goods - only goods sanctioned by the EU (e.g. steel and oil IIRC). Plus not all the sanctions are in place or will be in place before 2023 meaning no affect right now for some/certain goods.
They've just being (or continuing to be) whiny little shits about it.
