Lithuania ’ready’ for Moscow RETALIATION over EU blockade of Kaliningrad

Lithuania is ’prepared’ if Russia disconnects it from the regional power grid in retaliation for blocking rail shipments of some Russian goods to Moscow’s Kaliningrad exclave the president said on Wednesday. He spoke after the Kremlin warned Lithuania on Tuesday, that Moscow would respond to the ban on the transit of goods sanctioned by the EU to Kaliningrad in such a way that citizens of the Baltic state would feel the pain. With relations between Moscow and the West at a half-century low over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Lithuania banned the transit of goods sanctioned by the European Union across its territory to and from Kaliningrad, citing EU sanction rules.
