Russia speaks. You must listen. And NOW!

STEPS and MEASURES.

"Russia warns NATO-member Lithuania over Kaliningrad transit"

Think all this within context of the Lithuanian response to the USA/NATO sanctions as imposed on Russia.

"LONDON (Reuters) -Russia warned NATO member Lithuania on Monday that unless the transit of goods [overland route] to Russia's Kaliningrad exclave on the Baltic Sea was swiftly restored then Moscow would take undisclosed measures to defend its national interests."

From Reuters the tip thanks to yahoo.com June 20, 2022.

"With east-west relations at a half-century low over Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine, Vilnius banned the transit of goods [overland route] sanctioned by the European Union through Lithuanian territory to and from the exclave, citing EU sanction rules."

About 50 % of goods as basic daily needs Kaliningrad comes via the overland route through Lithuania. Folks in Kaliningrad going to have to tighten their belts.

Forget about the Fulda Gap in Germany. Think rather the Suwalki Gap. See previous blog entries Suwalki the topic:
