Russia has reacted furiously after Lithuania banned the passage of sanctioned goods across its territory and into Kaliningrad. But Lithuania says it is merely upholding European Union sanctions, and the European bloc has backed it.The row now threatens to escalate strains between Moscow and the EU, which has unveiled several packages of sanctions on Russian goods.Here's what you need to know about Kaliningrad, its history and its importance to Russia.
It was captured by Soviet troops from Nazi Germany in April 1945 and then became part of Soviet territory as a result of the Potsdam Agreement. It was renamed from the German Königsberg in 1946.For decades, it was a heavily militarized region, closed off to foreigners. But in recent years Kaliningrad has become an emerging tourist destination, and it hosted matches during Russia's 2018 World Cup.
…something is going on in that region…

I don't understand why this people are pushing for nuclear war? If like there's oxygen and water on Mars

Hmm seems like you miss tweeted. Do you mean Zelensky and NATOs war? The war that wouldn't exist if NATO didn't put its bases in Ukraine to threaten Russia? The war that Putin said remove the bases, Ukraine shouldn't be allowed to join NATO and we won't retaliate. That war?

No surprise there. When Poland was invaded by Hitler's rampaging army there was not much movement in the minds of those holed up in the White House. When Vichy Macron folds his arms we all know he's thinking he's in the wrong place at the wrong time. If Ukraine falls we all fall. All..Together.. Great Start For Communication..
