🚂Up to 50% of the range of goods, including building materials and metals, fell under the transit ban.
Moscow is indignanting and promises to increase the number of sea freight, and military bloggers are calling to "unblock" of Kaliningrad, capturing the land Suwalki Gap — a hundred-kilometer stretch at the junction of the borders of #Lithuania and #Poland.

It is this target that has been actively discussed in Russian media over the past two weeks after the outrageous bill "on the abolition of Lithuania's independence" submitted to the State Duma on June 8.

“The Suwalki Gap is a nightmare for #NATO,” writes Gazeta.ru

🇵🇱🇱🇹The attack of RF on Poland and the Baltic countries is very probably, Polish military considers.
“If Putin sees that his escalation doctrine is effective, he will move further, for example, towards the Suwalki Gap.”

❗️UPD:
If this corridor will be taken, all Baltic countries will be cut off from land connection with other #EU and #NATO countries, which will mean a declaration of war.

🇺🇦This morning, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky arrived at the front line in the Mykolaiv region, where he spoke with the military and presented state awards, after which he held a meeting on the operational situation at the front.

If Putin is not stopped in Ukraine, Europe is in danger of chaos.
🇺🇸Joe Biden in an interview with The Associated Press: "... I’ve done foreign policy my whole career, and I’m convinced that if we let Russia roll and Putin roll, he wouldn’t stop at Ukraine. I fear what would happen next is you’d see chaos in Europe."
Despite political risks and a blow to the economy, the United States must confront Russian aggression, the American president believes.
P.S.
⬇️ By the way, it seems "chaos" to be already beginning...

Если Путина не остановить в Украине, Европе грозит хаос.
🇺🇸Джо Байден в интервью Associated Press: "... я всю свою карьеру занимался внешней политикой, и убежден, что если мы позволим России и Путину двигаться дальше, он не остановится на Украине. Боюсь, тогда Европе грозит хаос."
Несмотря на политические риски и удар по экономике, США должны вступить в противостояние с российской агрессией, считает американский лидер.
P.S.
Кстати, "хаос", похоже, уже начинается...⬇️
