Russia has demanded that Lithuania lift its ban on the transit of sanctioned goods by road and rail to the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad – threatening “serious and sensitive consequences” for the Lithuanian people if it doesn’t.

Speaking in Kaliningrad, the head of Russia’s security council described it as a “hostile action” and warned “retaliatory measures will follow”.

Lithuania has insisted there’s no blockade and it’s simply implementing EU sanctions.
