Lithuania will not challenge a clarification by the European Commission allowing transit of sanctioned goods to Russia’s exclave of Kaliningrad. The new European Commission guidelines released on July 13 in effect reverse Lithuania’s transit ban that had cut off the Russian enclave.The European Commission said that sanctioned Russian goods could transit through the bloc’s territory by rail to Kaliningrad.
In June, Lithuania had applied EU sanctions, which were imposed on Russia in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine. The ban had sparked tensions between Moscow, Lithuania and the EU and tested Europe’s resolve to enforce sanctions on Russia.

Who.? Lithouania.????????
Yet another dirty Eu dealer scum with the world’s enemies
What'e the point in sanctions if you don't enforce them?They'll regret doing this.
On the face of it, yes, this looks like caving.
On the other hand, we can do the blocking of Kaliningrad anytime we want. Russia now knows this.
An alliance of almost 25 countries (Nato) is so fearful of one country (Russia) to the point that they would rather fight that country through a proxy war using a non member of the alliance (Ukraine). They could use a member and rally behind that member as an excuse to confront Russia head on but the fear Russia strikes in their hearts won't permit such a move.
Now they are in the business of trying to bully the whole world into supporting their candidate and denounce their nemesis.
The world has become so wise since the demise of colonialism.
Good luck in your war. I pray for peace to prevail.
The world will really be better off if NATO is disbanded. Lithuania would've never dared take the bold measure of forbidding the free transit of goods from Russia to Kaliningrad if it were not because of NATO. Never.
This is stupidity, let Russia ship to Kaliningrad!! We are only hurting the innocent citizens!!
Yup it’s a unity of countries that currently have no fear of a shopping center disappearing in front of their eyes and 30 people from their country instantly dead on the spot with 100 plus more wounded. The gene that emboldened Russia’s terrorism for decades doesn’t die over night and I can only imagine the sinking feeling of Ukrainians as we all watch the theater of human horror and the new Hitler being postponed to future historic accounts. This is shameful and immoral. This is playing with lives of innocent people. Putin will love everyone of these decision makers !
Things in this world are never about fighting evil but waging politics of good neighborhood
Of course they caved!! Go ahead make Putin stronger I bet he's one helluva poker player!!!!
This war has done nothing but prove that Russia’s military is a joke and that the EU doesn’t have any balls. At this point if Russia attacked a member of NATO I don’t think the US should militarily intervene. If they are gonna bend the Knee to Russia than we need to let Russia be the EUs problem
When EU backs down from Putin, he does not show gratitude. That 360 by EU will ensure Putin will harass Lithuania and other nations. The reason he invaded Ukraine now is the US did not attack Russia when they invaded and seized Crimea. So sure enough, he is back for more.
Thank God, hope thi descalates
Pls stop the war. Ukraine shot itself in the foot by the orange resolution. Donatsk luhansk and ccrimea is gone. Just give it up and save the restof ukrain. Join the eu and russian customs union. Save your people from misery. At least you have edesa.
They don't have the ball's. Only talk, Hot air.
Lets see if Lithuania's attitude changes after one winter!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ukraine Presidential Psychiatric Examination
The answer is simple get NATO out of Eastern Europe that what Putin wanted to stop the war and killing
It called give and take, and give and take is for peace,
Please show good leadership and get NATO out of Eastern Europe yes it time to stop the war,
Sad to see European leaders are acting like fools, USA & Russia both getting benefit from this war, their currency value increasing a lot. On the other hand, economy in Europe is getting destroyed. For the first time in 20 years, the euro and the US dollar have reached parity, the value of both currencies has remained the same. euro zone inflation rate has now reached 8.6 %😶 Eu falled in their own trap. If they don't lift sanctions now, their economy will get destroyed. People of EU already started to suffer a lot. If it goes like this, maybe we will see a mass protest inside of Europe soon.
who are these animals in competition with each other? You can see the animosity and hatred in their faces as they speak of each other. Putin is the most relaxed of them all.
In 60 AD Apostle Saint Andrew traveled to the area of Kiev, preached, and said, one day a great city would be built here with many churches to the glory of God. Today there is a church to Saint Andrew in Kiev. The peoples in the area were Slavic. Kyi, Shchek and Khoryv, three brothers and the sister Lybid founded Kiev in 482 AD, Kiev was named after the older brother Kyi. Kiev the older brother was King. Herodotus wrote that Hercules had founded this land.
The Rus were Viking tribes that settled peacefully in Kiev as far back as 750 AD with the Slavs there, 400 years before Moskva existed. The name Russia, coming from the city Moskva, has no connection to the RUS. Russia coming from Moskva started with Batu Kahn much later as a vasal under Mongolian rule. All the early Czars were Mongolian and of no connection to the RUS. The Rus were with the Slavs to the south in Kiev. Moskva were Finnish Urgic Tribes; Mosk means cow and Va water, which are Finnish names. There was no RUS there. The ethnic background of Moskva is Finnish-Urgic and Mongolian. The Rus developed the religion, city Kiev, alphabet, churches, and had its saints. The founder of Kievian Rus (800) or the Rus was a Viking named Askold or Oskold (Norse) from Sweden; not Oleg as in the Russian story. Kievian Rus exists long Before Novgorod and Oleg’s arrival there. Askold is the Slavic name. Oskold, the first King of Kievian Rus was in Kiev before Oleg in Novgorod. Oskold had 200 ships and 20,000 warriors. Oskold was baptized in Constantinople (128 years before Volodymyr) and sent the first bishop back to Kiev. Oskold and Dir were the first Dynasty of Kievian Rus. Askold rules from the 40-60s and Dir to the 80s. Askold is buried in Kiev and the first Kievian Christian King & Dynasty. Oleg followed coming from Sweden through Novgorod and was a pagan. Russia as named today started in the city of Moskva over 400 years later after Kievian Rus or Rus. From Kiev, the capitol of Rus, Kievian culture was spread, much like the Greeks Hellenized the known world, or like the British anglicized the world by the English language. This process does not make Moskva to become RUS in as much as Persian are not Greek. How we are misled by a name; Russia. The capitol of the RUS has always been Kiev. There is no other RUS and no RUS in Moskva. Many say Ukraine began recently; but the culture of the RUS is Kievian RUS, both culture and ethnic background. Ukraine is a name given by Poland meaning outer lands. The land of the RUS before the Mongolian invasion was very large. The name RUS is a Norse name which means men that row; there are no men that row in Moskva. So Moskva adopted the name Russia while being a Mongolian vassal, essentially traitor to the RUS; and all the Czars were Mongolian-Finnish. The Culture of the Mongolian was centralized power, and that cultural imprint was passed on to present day Russia. Ukraine’s real name should be Kievian RUS, or Kievskarus! Russia began in Moskva by Batu Kahn and Novgorod conquered much later, still no connection to the Rus.
Putin & Lavrov should be ashamed of themselves, the USSR was an occupation; it never had the status of a sovereign state and due process of law that would be associated with a free society. Even today the mentality of the gulag exists. There is no freedom of press and speech, people are arrested for speech, there is no due process of law, and the religion is state run making it a totalitarian theocracy. As such, it did not deserve to exist in a free world; and history has shown such totalitarian organizations fail over time and author in many gulags. The true culture of Russia is Finno-Ugric and Mongolian, having nothing to do with the RUS (Kievian), expect borrowed as in the sense of Hellenized or Anglicized "forms" as a comparative reference. The centralized form of Russian politics is a very Mongolian imprint on culture. The actions of Putin seem to be another Mongolian invasion of Kiev; here I suggest as to the correct metaphor. I believe so. Putin & Lavrov insistence to have purview over eastern Europe also seems like paying tribute to the Mongolian Horde. Moskva started as an agglomeration of Finnish tribes, combining a Finnish name meaning cows water and developed by Mongolian culture. Mosk means cow and Va means water. The RUS are men that row, Vikings, Norse, established Kiev 400 years before (750 AD) Moskva even thought to exist. The name Russia for current nation is totally inappropriate. The current Russia started in Moskva; how misleading is the name Russia coming from Moskva that has no connection to the RUS. All the lands should be returned to Kiev; the West of Russia to Finland, and the East to Mongolia. Russia’s place on the globe appears as a temporary aberration in my view. To use threats of Nukes publicly strikes at the heart as adolescent behaviour; surely any nation or person that issues such threats and being an ally to such while not even having war imposed on them is not fit to rule. This would include allies of Russia. Oh yes, I remember, Russia didn't invent the bomb, they stole it in the 1940's and gave it to Kurchatov. Russia struggles with an identity crisis since its beginnings unoriginal to the ethnic groups. Its errors are numerous, 50 million killed by Stalin in WW2, allied to the Nazis to kill the Poles for their defeat in WW2, Holodomor where millions of Ukrainians were killed and grain stolen, and constant antagonist with Europe. We even have the Holy Mother announcing Russia’s errors at Fatima. Russia is a Mongolian culture and all the first Czars were Mongolian and Batu Kahn is the author.
Oskold was the grandson of Ragnar the king of Sweden, his name is old Norse and spoke old Norse, the name Rus is old Norse, he settled peacefully in Kiev and the Slavs made him king, he brought Christianity to Kiev with his son dir…his burial mound is where St Nicholas church is built, Oleg wasn’t even in Novgorod when this happened, and Oleg is not a Rus nor old Norse name. The Slavs called Oskold the name Askold. After came Dir, Oleg was a pagan who assassinated Dir, Oskold becomes the first dynasty…later when the line of kings get to Vladimir, he is captured at a trading post by the Mongols, the post is called Moskva, and the king killed. Moskva as a city was a Mongolian invention, and Novgorod becomes a part of that Russia by conquest, although having nothing to do with the Rus. Oskold line is Ragnar, ironside, Oskold from the King of Sweden Ragnar. Oleg is via Rurik coming much later. The accounts of Oskold are within the time, Al Mamun an Arab writer of the time wrote of Oskold, the Russian chronicles come hundreds of years later. In much the same way accounts of relevant history are better understood by those of the times, much like the Bible, dating to the original times makes the account authentic. The Russian chronicles are merely a tale and inaccurate.
Kiev was a city over 1000 years before Russia even existed. Kiev was Kievian Rus before Novgorod and when Oleg arrived. Putin is kidding himself if he thinks any part of Ukraine belongs to Russia. We can see that Israel belongs to the Jews, similarly all the lands around Kiev of Kievian Rus belong to Kiev as a single nation and city state. Russia's beginnings are a wanting child begun as a captive insurgency having nothing of its own; a captive state that was reeking in servitude to Mongolia and invented by Mongolia. The entire culture of Russia from Moscow is Mongolian centralized power, a pagan culture of no empathy and Christianity. The Christianity is tainted as a state religion or theocracy and politicized. History is often obscured by being written by the ones in charge. The history of Ukraine has been obscured by the Soviet Occupation and cultural appropriations. Moscow in an attempt to appropriate a history not its own, rewrote the narrative of history to cover up its compromised origins; Kiev and Ukraine is a history much older and more civilized; making contributions to civilization. Russian despotism becomes the blueprint, foundation & model for every despot nation, look at its allies; the error of its ways has spread throughout the globe; much like the message from the Holy Mother at Fatima. Those that are sympathetic to Russian atrocities can find similarities in their own histories. Ukraine has a democracy at a local level Moscow never had and fears. Russian boundless ignorance is a type often found in the poorest of nations, and usually the poorest have a history of the hardest tyrants over them that also inflict poverty, physical and spiritual, on others they attempt to subjugate, a reflection of their own lives, an abomination of desolation.
Askold was in Constantinople in 860 and Oleg arrived in Novgorod not until 862. The Arabs referred to Askold as the Slavic King or King of the Slavs which he had been for a while. Pontius says Askold brings Christianity to Kiev from Constantinople and a bishop. Ragnar the Norse King of Sweden was born in 767 AD, his son Bjorn ironside was born in 796 AD, and grandson Oskold (Askold) was born in 820 AD. Askold arrived in Kiev in 840 and had a son Dir, Both become King and the first Christian dynasty. Askold dies and gets a burial mound in a park in Kiev. Dir follows as King. Dir is assassinated by Oleg who is a pagan. Nobody knows who Rurik is or who the father is . Oleg is a generation away from Askold. Olga of Kiev builds a church on Askold’ s burial grounds. Pontius of Constantinople says Askold brings a Bishop and Christianity to Kiev. Russia much later is a Mongolian invention…………

NATO and the EU have to understand they will always loose in a standoff contest with Russia. They keep getting embarrassed. So Time for them to convince Ukraine to give up the Donbass for peace
Kaliningrad is where Russias nuclear weapons will be fired from to the EU HQ
Now America supporting russia
I don't understand?
Lol 🤣 they not ready for no smokes 🤣 Ukraine is a prime example so they not that stoupid
The world would not be a safe peaceful place as long as the madman remains in power.
American Democrats divide the world stop free trade… & how is this going to help Americans economy???
Why does conflict persist? Because the West does not like to cooperate with Russia, they only wants to make Russia become weakening and be separated into many pieces by all means. Fighting against Russia gives China the opportunity to rise as the world hegemony. The West is too thoughtless because the more they fight Russia, the more damage they will cause to their countries.
Now, if we want to end the conflict, we should bring Zelensky down, actively propose cooperation with Russia, keep countries around Russia have a peaceful attitude so that Russia will not worry anymore. The whole world will be benefited.
Inciting people to fight is a manifestation of a bloodthirsty belligerent guy. In the name of defending Ukraine, but in fact, the US and UK are on the right track of inciting people to fight until both of them to die. Using words of instigation, pumping weapons evenly, keeping the war in Ukraine as long as possible, that is the plan of the US. Russia attacked Ukraine to prevent the threat of World War III from neo-Nazi trends, but Russia does not have an aggressive attitude like the way the US is trying to fight against Russia radically and comprehensively.
There are too many homeless people in Western countries, but no one loves them. People just leave them to live hard. The love of Western countries is pouring into Ukraine, where the neo-fascist movement is being attacked and destroyed by Russia.
When we hear Western countries express their love for Ukraine, we doubt whether this is political morality at the very high level of human civilization, or the hypocritical hypocrisy of political games. It is unknown that whether Western countries give weapons to for Ukraine to defend themselves or let Ukraine fight Russia for them. Are Ukrainians dying in self-defense or for the political games of the West?
Lithuania should have made deal ,release the grain we will allow your passage again ,no nothing ,not clever Putin won ,
The purpose is to embolden poo tin.
So russia would send in more to be destroyed
Russia will soon be weaken for Ukraine to take.
It would only fair for Ukraine to take some of the former Russia 🇷🇺 lands for compensation.
A free and independent kaliningrad.
🤑
There will be no electricity, no coal, no hydrocarbons, nothing at all!!)))
At the beginning of this conflict, smaller economies such as Lithuania, Poland, Bulgaria and Latvia were first off the block, wanting to sanction Russian gas and anything and everything under the sun. I thought it was possible for them because they don't have very much in terms of economy as opposed to German, Italy and France. So they can shout loud and clear because they don't have much to lose anyway.
The major industrialized EU members are not so sure about the sanctions, as it is proven true now that Germany is breaking the sanctions to get the gas turbine back to Russia. Is Germany now on Russian side? Far from it. Germany needed Russia for its gas. All the chest puffing and foot stomping will ultimately come to an agreement which Europe will wean off Ukraine, and Russia will keep the gas flow for at least the next few years. There are just too many things at stake for Europe to go cold turkey on Russia.
The fact is not lost on Europe when Biden received only a lukewarm reception in Saudi Arabia. Europe realizes that America is no longer the superpower it once was because it is about energy, and those who own it.
yet, Lithuania has the balls to challenge China. Russia is not even close to China´s power level. The EU is really a paper tiger mainly because it´s hypocritical and cowardly. Even if there´s a war, it would be mostly fought by Poles, Baltics and other dirt poor Eastern Euro countries. The Nato Danes, Belgians, Dutch or German would probably just sit by and quietly observe.
Lithuania should break from EU as British did . Make a Baltic Union with Estonia and Latvia .
What is the EU doing. Squeeze Russia dry. People are dying in Ukraine. The US should supply Europe with all the oil and gas they need. Do I have to run the situation. Wake up people.
Ah yes, Ribbentrop-Mołotow pact or Merkel-Putin, same shit.
there will more peace if you not EU members,, EU has no natural resources you rely to your nightbor EU should not ask from anybody That,,EU you should be friendly so they natural resources will have you also…are they need to say????you are a leader..you should know how,,,to have relationship to your nieghbor…you are not friendly EU and what we now see are ungreatful EU.. sad to hear but true..you forget Russia help you all during ww2,, ungreatful here in ASEAN we know, so we speak its not our right? 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
The stupid tiny dog is ordered to stop barking.
It's a joke,it's should be total transit ban for Russians,go to hell xuilos ,slava Ukraine
Of course Europe has buckled to Putin. With countries like France and Germany undermining every policy to put their stamp of selfish interest on every policy is it any surprise that Putin is thumbing his nose at them? How these numbskulls put economic expediency ahead of their security is beyond me. I hope America abandon them to their own short sightedness idiocy.
Lithuania and Poland will divide up Kilengrad.
I think people should be clear about what they see as truth………….as far as I am aware ( not what Putin spouts)…..There never was a blockade…………..there are sanctions on certain goods and that remains the same…………There was, as I understand no change……….Some would have you believe the route by road or rail closed …it was never closed and then reopened before because of the evil little man's threats.
