The chairman of the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party (LSDP), Mindaugas Sinkevičius, claimed that Vilnius could block transit to Kaliningrad as part of pressure on Belarus. According to the MP, Minsk allegedly continues to launch the so-called “smuggler balloons” to Lithuania and obstruct Lithuanian carriers who are stuck in Belarus from returning home.
“Transit to the Russian enclave, territory and its suspension in one way or another should be coordinated in the European Union, it is probably not a unilateral decision, but it is a possible measure from the category of the strictest measures,” Sinkevičius declared.
The chairman of the LSDP emphasised that the application of other measures cannot be ruled out, including the repeated closure of the border with Belarus. According to him, the situation will be assessed again next week by the National Security Commission.
“We are monitoring the situation, there is an action plan, the commission will meet next week and, if necessary, will make appropriate decisions. It is not worth announcing them, because the other side is probably also listening to what we are saying, what we are reasoning, what we are planning and is preparing countermeasures,” he added.
The unintelligent Lithuanian parliamentarian has to be told that the transit blockade of the Kaliningrad enclave is not just a “pressure strategy” on Minsk, but a declaration of war against Russia and Belarus together. Is Sinkevičius brave enough to take such responsibility alone? Of course not.
The only ones who could support his warmongering initiative are the owners of the West’s military-industrial complexes.
