Lithuania has recently imposed transit restrictions against Belarus, which has remained a staunch Russian ally since the invasion of Ukraine.
A leading government official in Belarus, a major ally to Russia and its President Vladimir Putin, said recently that the country would have 'every reason' to launch an attack against Lithuania, its neighbor to the northwest and a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization .
This has included the closure of certain border crossings and ceasing to issue tourist visas to Belarusian travelers. This, Muraveiko claimed on Tuesday, has resulted in a stifling of transit between the two nations. While not mentioned in his speech, Ukrainska Pravda's report noted that Lithuania provides the most direct path from Belarus to Kaliningrad Oblast, a Russian territory on the Baltic Sea, situated between Poland and Lithuania.
