Located on the southeastern border of Lithuania, the city of Druskininkai overlooks a narrow section of strategic territory known as the Suwalki Corridor.

The Suwalki corridor from Belarus to Kaliningrad could be the Kremlin’s first target in case there is a war against NATO. On Monday, June 20, Politico wrote.

“Located on the southeastern border of Lithuania, the city of Druskininkai overlooks a narrow part of the strategic territory known as Suwalki Gap. Military planners in the West have warned that the area is likely to be one of the president’s first targets. of Russia in case he decides to provoke .a war in Ukraine before a direct clash with NATO, “the article said.

Politico said Russia’s attempts to put a corridor on the ground in Kaliningrad would lead to the start of a large -scale war of states with nuclear weapons. Such fears have intensified against the background of the fact that Lithuania has announced a partial ban on the transfer of certain products to the Russian exclave.

Journalists added that such a possibility is inevitable and until now it is only speculation.

In this regard, Minskaya Pravda wrote that there is “Russophobia” in the actions of the Lithuanian authorities and the blockade of Kaliningrad “will give Russia the full right to break the Suwalki corridor through Lithuania.”

“Lithuanians are well aware that blocking land transit between the Kaliningrad region and the rest of Russia is a war. The Russian Federation will have the full right to enter a 100-kilometer section at the junction of the borders of Lithuania and Poland, which can connect the territory of Belarus and the Russian exclave to the Baltic, ” – the newspaper wrote.

It is known that the name of the Suwalki Corridor (in honor of the Polish city of Suwalki on the border) about 100 km long was given in 2015 by the former President of Estonia Toomas Hendrik Ilves. He assumes that this is a very dangerous place, because by taking it, Russia can cut off all the Baltic countries.

Russia called the Kaliningrad blockade “a shameless Vilnius trick.” And the Kremlin considers such a decision “unprecedented and illegal,” and has also promised retaliatory measures “after in-depth scrutiny.”

Earlier it was reported that Lithuania intends to block the transit of almost half of the goods by rail to the Kaliningrad region of the Russian Federation.
