Threshold of passage: how Lithuania is threatened by attempts to block transit to Kaliningrad

Vilnius has closed the border with Belarus, but has not yet decided to restrict the movement of passengers and cargo to the western region of the Russian Federation.

Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation Konstantin Kosachev, in a comment to Izvestia on October 30, indicated that the level of diplomatic relations with Lithuania could be lowered if Vilnius went to blockade transit to Kaliningrad. He noted that in this situation it would be inappropriate to continue diplomatic relations at the previous level, while Moscow would also take retaliatory measures.

Later it was reported that Lithuanian Railways (LTG) will stop the transit of petroleum products from Russian companies Lukoil and Rosneft to the Kaliningrad region as a result of the sanctions imposed on enterprises by the United States and Great Britain.
