Russia openly threatened Lithuania with war in case of “blockade” of Kaliningrad – UNIAN

In the event of a “violation” of the security of their territory, “nothing will stop the Russians.”

Russian Senator Vladimir Dzhabarov said that the ban on the transit of sanctioned goods through Lithuania to Kaliningrad may turn into an armed conflict with the Russian Federation for Vilnius.

He stated this in an interview with the Vmeste-RF TV channel, the Russian propaganda agency quotes Interfax.

In the event of a “violation” of the security of their territory, “nothing will stop the Russians.”

“If this (the blockade of Kaliningrad) happens, then things could escalate into an armed conflict. And you have to tell the truth. According to Article 4 of our Constitution, the Russian state is obliged to defend its territory and ensure its security. If we feel that this security is being violated and (the situation) threatens us with the loss of territory, then, of course, we will take extreme measures, and nothing will stop us,” the official said.

The conflict between Lithuania and Russia due to the blockade of the Kaliningrad region

As UNIAN previously reported, Lithuania has been stopped the transit of sanctioned cargo between the Kaliningrad region and the main territory of the Russian Federation.

Subsequently, the governor of the Kaliningrad region Anton Alikhanov saidthat Lithuania’s decision to ban transit is “economic strangulation of the region.” According to Alikhanov, the authorities will seek a review of the decision.

Later member of the Federation Council Andrei Klishas statedthat “an attempt to establish a transport blockade of the Kaliningrad region by Lithuania is a violation of Russia’s sovereignty over this region.”

Wherein Russia threatened Lithuania with a response on the transport blockade of sanctioned goods in the Kaliningrad region.

Formerly Ukrainian political scientist Petro Oleshchuk assessed the chances of Russia’s attack on Lithuania and Putin’s threats against NATO countries.
