❗️🇺🇸🚫🇷🇺 NATO will enforce a blockade against Russian ships in the Baltic Sea following the explosion which destroyed a portion of the Balticconnector gas pipeline.

Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Grushko stated publicly that such an action would be a violation of international law. A high-ranking diplomat also stated regarding the situation:

🗣 — “This will be a gross violation of international transport and navigation law, which NATO countries, and especially the United States, like to repeat at every corner. Both in Brussels and in other capitals of NATO countries must understand the seriousness of the consequences of such a step,”

Deputy Foreign Minister Grushko went on to answer reporters with the following:

🗣— “We know that some politicians and NATO strategists dream of turning the Baltic Sea into an internal NATO lake. This will not happen, will never happen,”

This turn of events is a very ill omen for the future of peace in the Baltics, and we urge all readers to pay close attention in the future. Whether this was a false flag, intervention by a third party, or a legitimate act by Russia, the effects will all be the same so long as NATO enforces such a blockade. This will essentially isolate Kaliningrad to a critical extent, and will potentially create an increasingly tense situation over the railway transport between Belarus and the Russian exclave in the near future.
