Lithuania blocks and fortifies bridge to Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave

Kasciunas said other #bridges leading to #Kaliningrad would also be fortified, and some may even be #mined.

#Russia's full-scale #invasion of #Ukraine exacerbated fears of a potential open conflict between Moscow and NATO, and #Lithuania, bordering Russia's ally #Belarus and Kaliningrad, would be one of the first countries threatened by such a clash.

Kaliningrad Oblast is a small but heavily armed territory lodged between the Baltic Sea and NATO members Poland, and Lithuania. Russia's Baltic Sea Fleet has its headquarters and main base located there.
