Another crisis in Eastern Europe: Russia today (Tuesday) sent an unequivocal threat to Lithuania to stop stopping the passage of goods to the Russian enclave in Kaliningrad, or that Moscow will "respond accordingly" in order to ensure the regular passage of goods.
The chairman of the Russian Security Council, Nikolai Petroshav, held a special meeting in the city of Kaliningrad and sent a clear threat to Vilnius when he said: "Lithuania's actions are openly hostile. If Vilnius does not withdraw from its impossible position, Russia will respond."
Vilnius announced yesterday that it would ban the transfer of goods marked by US sanctions to the territory of the Kaliningrad enclave, which borders eastern Lithuania and west of Poland to the shores of the Baltic Sea, which will stop the passage of coal, fuel and many food products into the enclave where almost four million people live.
Kaliningrad, or formerly "Königsberg" was part of East Prussia, under German control, until World War II when it was occupied by Russia, emptied by the Soviet Union of its German population and settled in Russia.
This is a very explosive event that could cause Putin to try to open a land corridor to Kaliningrad via Lithuania.
A Russian invasion of NATO, which is part of NATO, is expected to provoke a military alliance against Russia, at least according to President Biden's past statements. , Or to thicken the Russian forces in the active battlefields.
Meanwhile, the Russian army recorded a fighting achievement in eastern Ukraine when its forces managed to occupy, after weeks of fighting, the town of Toszkivka, located east of the city of Sverdnočka.
The town can be used by Russian forces to cut off the city of Lisichensk from the rest of the territory held by Ukraine and come closer to deciding a battle over Ukraine's last stronghold in the Luhansk region, the second district of the Donbas region.

However, the Russian army suffered heavy casualties tonight in a bombing by the Ukrainian Air Force over its positions on Snake Island in the Black Sea, off the coast of southern Ukraine.
Russian forces have thickened the island's air defenses in recent weeks, which has not prevented another Ukrainian air strike on the island's territory.
In addition, Ukraine recorded another achievement when a battery of advanced German cannons entered the service of the Ukrainian army this morning and Germany announced the transfer of more heavy weapons to Kyiv.
