Major Escalation of War Expanding in Europe

Editor's note: This is a major move by NATO (US) to escalate the war in Ukraine by cutting off this rail transport through Lithuania to Kaliningrad. If people think the Russian military has been brutal in Ukraine, wait until Lithuania and Poland as two NATO (US f*cking war lunatics) proxies get hammered by Russia. Lithuania is nothing to the Russians. There is opposition to this decision based on years of agreements between Russia and the EU but that is tenuous considering the criminals that run NATO. There is a large well armed and equipped Russian military presence located in Kaliningrad and Russia won't think twice about leveling Lithuania. Radio Free Europe as a side note is run by US intelligence. The potential here for a lot of people to get killed was just ratcheted up a notch because the US cannot afford to be embarrassed by losing Ukraine.

Lithuania Bans Transit Of Sanctioned Russian Goods To Kaliningrad

June 18, 2022

Lithuania has begun a ban on the rail transit of goods subject to European Union sanctions to the Russian far-western exclave of Kaliningrad, transport authorities in the Baltic nation said on June 18.

The EU sanctions list includes coal, metals, construction materials, and advanced technology.

Anton Alikhanov, the governor of the Russian oblast, said the ban would cover around 50 percent of the items that Kaliningrad imports.

Alikhanov said the region, which has an ice-free port on the Baltic Sea, will call on Russian federal authorities to take tit-for-tat measures against the EU country for imposing the ban. He said he would also seek to have more goods sent by ship to the oblast.

The cargo unit of Lithuania's state railways service set out details of the ban in a letter to clients following "clarification" from the European Commission on the mechanism for applying the sanctions.

Previously, Lithuanian Deputy Foreign Minister Mantas Adomenas said the ministry was waiting for "clarification from the European Commission on applying European sanctions to Kaliningrad cargo transit."

The commission stated that sanctioned goods and cargo should still be prohibited even if they travel from one part of Russia to another but through EU territory.

The European Union, United States, and others have set strict sanctions on Moscow for its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

The ministry did not comment on the issue following the state railway confirmation.

Russia's Baltic Sea exclave of Kaliningrad, sandwiched between Lithuania and Poland, became part of the Soviet Union after World War II. It has a population of about 430,000 people and hosts the headquarters of Russia's Baltic sea fleet.
