The analyst believes that the measures must not be military.

Military expert, director of the Museum of Air Defense Forces Yuri Knutov, in an interview with the media, said that Russia, together with Belarus, can give an answer to Lithuania on the imposition of a blockade of Kaliningrad.

In an interview with “Ukraine.ru” he suggested that Vilnius wanted to provoke Moscow into a military conflict, but Russia might respond with economic measures.

He suggested that if there were economic levers, one should turn to Minsk and put Lithuania in an economic blockade similar to the one the country organized for the Kaliningrad region. According to Knutov, NATO and the United States support Vilnius, and it is to the West that he will turn in the event of retaliatory economic sanctions against Russia.

Only thus, believes the military expert, can Lithuania reconsider its decision?

“So that more later Lithuania asks the West to allow certain actions regarding the possibility of transporting Russian goods”, – he explained.
