Lithuania has backed down on the blockade of the Russian exclave Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea after pressure from the Kremlin which threatened ‘serious measures’.
Kaliningrad is now armed with nuclear-capable Iskander missiles and sandwiched between NATO members on the northern NATO flank.
Although Russia was able to supply the region via seaport, the overland transfer of some goods through Lithuania, a former member of the Soviet Union, was restricted for the last several weeks.
Pressure from the EU changed the situation, according to reports.
Lithuania will allow sanctioned Russian goods to pass through their territory to Kaliningrad after pressure from the EU, wrote the private intelligence firm Inkermann.
The European Commission issued its legal guidance on the standoff Wednesday, which had over the past month resulted in some one million Russian citizens in the exclave remaining cut off from products brought by rail and road. “The transit of sanctioned goods by road with Russian operators is not allowed under the EU measures. No such similar prohibition exists for rail transport,” the European Union executive said, specifying that Russian goods should continue to be allowed by train, reported Zero Hedge.
“They published a decision yesterday, I mean, the European Commission, or, rather, not even a decision but guidance. It lifts restrictions on a certain range of products, goods that are transported [to the Kaliningrad Region] via rail. Actually, we commented on this yesterday, and we still think that this is a display of realism and common sense. <…> We are shaping a position,” Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Maria Zakharova told the Soloviev Live TV channel on Thursday, reported Russian state news agency TASS.
“It seems to me that they realized that the situation had already come to a dead end, and it is very dangerous and explosive,” the spokeswoman said.

THE EU(SSR) IS NOT EUROPE. And the insignificant baltic states should stop being the little bitches of the US deep state. Poland has already the role of the biggest US deep state prostitute, no need to add more.
As usual the EU(SSR), a paper tiger folds because it has zero power.
The UK, and France have nuclear weapons, that’s all.
France is on the brink of revolution and the UK is so decadent that it’s probably no need to push it in order it falls.
The new kinglet, Charlot number 3 is the perfect image of a dying country which is becoming more and more irrelevant.
The future is in the East, the new silk road, Western Asia, Russia, China, India and in the global South.
FUCK SCHOLZ, FUCK BIDEN, FUCK MACRON, FUCK THE BRITS
EUROPE STANDS WITH RUSSIA AND LONG OF A UNION THAT GOES FROM BREST TO VLADIVOSTOK!
