Leonkov stated this in an interview with MK.
“Still, they do not block the sea route in the Baltic.
And they are unlikely to take this step at all, since this would actually mean declaring war on Russia, ”he commented on the situation around Kaliningrad.
According to the military expert, Russia has many levers of pressure on Lithuania, so it is necessary to intensify efforts and use them all at once to shock the opponent.
“I think that Lithuania, which staged this provocation at the initiative of Great Britain, will still back down after we use diplomatic and economic levers,” he said.
Earlier, Commissioner for Human Rights Tatyana Moskalkova spoke about the ban on transit to Kaliningrad by Lithuania.
In her opinion, the restrictions imposed by the Lithuanian authorities on the transit of goods to the Kaliningrad region violate human rights.
