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.
