Piontkovsky about threats to Lithuania from Russia/Collage of 24 channels
Andrey Piontkovsky, a Russian publicist, told Channel 24 about this. In his opinion, the country is confident that it will be supported by NATO.
He is convinced that Lithuania will be very tough (on sanctions against Russia – Channel 24), because it was her initiative.
Lithuania shows that it is not afraid of Putin's escalation and possible military scenario. She is sure that NATO will support her, and the United States announced this on the very first day,” Piontkovsky explained.
The publicist added that he had no doubt that the European Commission would “wind” like that .

Russia threatens Lithuania: important details
- Lithuania has announced that it will stop the transit of Russian goods subject to EU sanctions to Kaliningrad via railway.
- In Russia, hysteria immediately began because of such a completely fair decision. The Kremlin demanded the immediate lifting of the blockade from Kaliningrad, as well as the threat of “taking action” and “decided hands.”
- Lithuania responded to Russia's threats because of the “siege of Kaliningrad”. The Foreign Ministry stressed that they only comply with the sanctions imposed by the EU.
- After that, Russia decided to move on to specific threats to Lithuania. And later, military exercises in the Kaliningrad region on artillery and landing training in the Baltic Sea began.
- And the self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko generally spoke that in this way Lithuania actually declared war.
- President Gitanas Nauseda said on June 25 that there would be no concessions for Russia. “It is clear that Lithuania will impose EU sanctions, and there can be no talk of any “corridors,” he said.
- The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry also came to the defense of Lithuanian friends. Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that Russia itself is to blame for the consequences of the invasion of Ukraine.
