Russia blames 'hostile' Baltic countries for split in relations
Euronews ^ | 5/5/2024 | Joshua Askew

Russia has blamed the "hostility" of Baltic states for them severing most of their ties with the country.

"Because of the openly hostile line of Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn, all interstate, interdepartmental, regional and sectoral ties with Russia have been severed," said Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharov on Sunday.

She warned Moscow would respond with asymmetric measures, though did not specify exactly what the Baltics had supposedly done.

"We will also respond to the hostile actions of the Baltic states with asymmetrical measures, primarily in the economic and transit spheres," Zakharov detailed.

Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine has sent tensions in the Baltics and the surrounding region skyrocketing.

The three small states on the EU's eastern frontier were occupied by the USSR until it collapsed in 1991. They now fear a revisionist Kremlin could threaten their own security and independence.

Ex-Russian prime minister Dmitry Medvedev claimed last year the Baltic countries belong to Russia, saying they had "soiled themselves" over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

The three countries were independent between WWI and WWII, but were annexed by Stalin after his secret agreement with Hitler and forcibly incorporated in the USSR. The US never recognized their annexation.

Better hope this guy doesn't take charge of Russia's nukes.

How much of this has anything to do with any Baltic country and how much is due to France sending troops to Ukraine?

Meanwhile, every day, thousands of terrorists, barbarians and grifters flood across our border and marcus is more concerned about a spat between slavs.

Not yet.

It's a shame that they gave away all their weapons to your Little Vloddy zElenskyy.

The Russian threats against these countries preceded the French move.

You do know that if France gets attacked by Russia for conducting military operations against Russia NATO is under no obligation to defend france. Can we make some white flags with the fleur de lys embossed on them and surrender on France’s behalf?

Evidently not. But if they harbor or allow terrorists to pass through on the way to Moscow, they can expect some retaliatory actions may be taken.
