According to him, which is reported by TASS, some of the Russian tourists tried to enter the territory of Lithuania through a checkpoint in the city of Kybartai on the border with the Kaliningrad region, as well as through Belarus.

It is noted that some of the Russians justified their visit to Lithuania for humanitarian purposes, however, as Lyubaevas specified, this requires documentary evidence.

Earlier it became known that the decision of the authorities of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland to impose a ban on the entry of Russian citizens with Schengen visas issued in other EU states came into force.

It is noted that an exception to this restriction will be made for truck drivers, diplomats and those entering for family and humanitarian reasons.
