It's strategically important - assigning Kalingrad to Lithuania would mean Russia would have lost its only permanently non-frozen port.

St Petersburg? All the ports in the Black Sea? All their ports in the far east? (like say, Vladivostok)

St. Petersburg freezes in winter.

As does Vladivostok. And the Black Sea Ports have their problems.

Man, climate change will be good for Russia (well, relatively good anyway)
