Transit flow of threats
Russia calls the ban on the transit of sanctioned goods through Lithuania to the Kaliningrad region a "blockade". In pursuance of the EU decision, the Lithuanian government banned the transport of sanctions through its territory not only by trains, but also by trucks. Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev threatened retaliatory measures that "will have a serious negative impact on the population of Lithuania." At the same time, Russia is stepping up its provocations against Estonia. The security of the Baltic countries will be one of the most important topics of the upcoming NATO summit.
