Lithuania’s threats to the so-called “neutralization” of Kaliningrad are fiction and reflect the internal political struggle in this country. In a conversation we had with the publication on this subject, “lenta.ru“said Alexander Shenderyuk-Zhidkov, member of the Federation Council in this region, commenting on the words of former Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevičius about the “neutralization” of Kaliningrad.
“I would like to draw your attention to the fact that these threats are fiction and it seems to me that there is some kind of political struggle within the framework of the big election cycle that will take place in Lithuania in the near future.” the senator emphasized.
He noted that against the background of a number of failures in Lithuania’s internal affairs, including in the field of economic development, it was beneficial for Vilnius to “raise the rating” of the country with such aggressive statements towards Russia.
Before that, Linkevičius, the country’s current ambassador to Sweden and former head of the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs was threatened “Neutralize” Kaliningrad in the event of a Russian threat to NATO countries.
