Kaliningrad block, Moscow: “Russia prepares for worst-case scenario”

“We trust in common sense to resolve the situation” regarding the “Kaliningrad blockade” implemented by Lithuania on the basis of the sanctions against Moscow, but Russia is “also preparing for the worst scenario”. This was stated by Kremlin spokesman Dmytry Peskov during his daily press conference. “Hopefully for the best, but various scenarios are taken into consideration, including the worst,” Peskov said, quoted by the Interfax news agency. Meanwhile, Peskov added, Russian President Vladimir Putin will not congratulate his American counterpart Joe Biden on the occasion of the celebrations for the independence of the United States. And this is because of Washington’s ” hostile ” actions towards Moscow. “The congratulations this year can hardly be considered appropriate,” Peskov said, citing hostile US policies as the “motivation.”
