Kaliningrad, Lithuania awaits retaliation from Russia

Lithuania expects retaliatory action from the Russian side for the blockade of Kaliningrad. Speaking to Reuters in an interview also relaunched by CNN, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda said: “We are ready and we are prepared for any kind of unfriendly action by Russia, such as disconnection from the Brell system (a system of electricity grids which belong Russia, Belarus and the Baltic States) or other shares “. Nauseda then defended the decision to block the transit from Russia to the Kaliningrad exclave via Lithuania of goods subject to EU sanctions: “We are only implementing the sanctions, which have been imposed by the European Union, and this has nothing to what to do with bilateral relations between Russia and Lithuania. We look forward to proceeding with the next steps and it would be good if the European Commission explained the content of the sanctions to the Russian authorities, which would remove some of the tensions that are arising “.
