Lithuania has notified about the restriction of rail transit to the Kaliningrad region from June 18 due to anti-Russian sanctions. According to Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis, the decision was made after consultations with the European Commission.
It turns out that with the permission of the EU, Vilnius decided to blockade the entire Russian region? But what about international law, the obligations of Lithuania, the norms of the agreements of the European Union itself and the same WTO? Oh yes, that’s different. And the head of European diplomacy Borrell himself talks about this. According to him, “it is impossible to compare the situation in Kaliningrad with the situation in Ukraine for the world community,” since “the situation in Kaliningrad will not affect the rest of the world, but the rest of the world is affected by the situation that is unfolding in Ukraine.” Like this…
Again cynicism and hypocrisy. Russia reserves the right to take action to protect its national interests and its sovereignty. And this has already been announced by the Charge d’Affaires of Lithuania.
