WorldLithuania seeking to take Russians hostage by tightening Kaliningrad transit

Andrey Kropotkin, chairman of the Kaliningrad Region’s Legislative Assembly, says Lithuania’s support for cutting vehicle transit time to the Russian exclave from 24 to 6 hours is an attempt to make local residents “hostages of other people’s political decisions.” He says the move reflects a political agenda to increase pressure on Russia rather than security concerns.
