Russians on Kaliningrad train get a gruesome glimpse beyond the media blackout
The TelegraphDespite this, there was a certain sense of nervousness in the air. Like many of Kybartai's locals, Romas has family and friends living across the border in Kaliningrad and has noticed the distinct shift in atmosphere in the wake of the latest sanctions stand-off. The military might stationed there has led some Western officials to ponder whether the Russian leader could one day deploy nuclear weapons there, in the heart of the EU and Nato's territory. Until last week, Lithuania had allowed Russian freight shipments across its territory even though much of it was subject to EU sanctions. "The story is very simple: We just implemented the fourth package of sanctions, which were imposed in March with a certain transitional period, which is currently expiring," said Gitanas Nausėda, Lithuania's president, on Thursday.
