Lithuania has Blocked and Fortified a Bridge over the Nieman River, linking it to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, the Country’s Defense Minister said on Oct. 9th.
Laurynas Kasciunas said “Dragons Teeth” Obstacles had been Deployed on the Structure, which has also been Reinforced by Iron beams. 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 Lithuania and Poland.
Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania agreed to build a Baltic Defense Line in the coming years, to Strengthen the Eastern Border with Belarus and Russia, the Estonian Defense Ministry said on Jan. 19th.
Vilnius has been a Staunch Supporter of Ukraine, since the Outbreak of the Full-Scale War, leading to a Sharp Deterioration of Relations with Moscow. The Country has delivered 155-mm Ammunition, Armored Personnel Carriers, Winter Clothing, and Anti-Drone systems.
