••Russian Economic Update:
Putin signed law to start a soft war mobilization of economy - private companies will not be able to deny a non-negotiable contract from the Russian military and will have to comply. Changes work terms for employees - will have to be available at all times to fulfill military contract.

Law is ‘soft’ because it stops short of forcing private companies to produce military goods.

••Russian Political Update:
Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued ••2nd warning•• that the West is teetering on the edge of direct military confrontation.

••Lithuania Update:
Passage of Russian goods to Kaliningrad region. EU agreed to allow passage with some restrictions. Russia sees problem as resolved. Lithuania will likely have to comply with agreement.

•• WiU Commenter:
Germany, USA, and the EU Commission basically betrayed Lithuania just like the major powers before WW2 sold Checkloslovakia in the Munchen treason. The EU document solely is meant for Lithuania, and only Lithuania’s railroads are used.

Lithuania put its position clearly to the EU commission, however it was disregarded, and Lithuania was treated not as a sovereign country but as a corridor. What this also did was discredit Lithuania’s current president and the entire ruling party.

It is highly likely that in the next elections the Opposition party, which is more PRO Russian will win. Also Dalia Grybouskaitė put a very hard position on what just happened. She basically told the current political leadership that they are chickens and should have stood firm on the strategic issue.

It is highly likely that Dalia Grybauskaite will participate and win in the next presidential elections. She is a very tough hardliner against Russia, however in this case also against the EU.

It remains to be seen, but right now there is a massive sentiment of betrayal in Lithuania. There are opinions that the whole stand-off might have been artificially created so that USA and Germans could ask Russia for something in exchange. No one will probably tell loud what it might have been however it was done at the cost of Lithuania’s sovereignty.

If it was used as a bargaining chip to get the Nordstream 1 running again after its maintenance - that would be very sad. Also there seems to have been some progress in the Ukraine grain export negotiations at the exact same time. The West still have not learned. Whatever the Russian promised - they will not follow through.

Also a week or two ago NATO said that there were no forces to put in Lithuania despite promising a battalion. And all of a sudden, magically, the Germans agreed to place the battalion in Lithuania while the transit dispute was going on. It is highly likely that Lithuania was blackmailed with that to concede. Either comply - or get no battalion.

This is a betrayal, no mater how you look at it. When Dalia Grybauskaite will be the President again, it is highly likely that a Veto power will be executed in votes in the EU which discredit Lithuania’s strategic interests int he future. This might strengthen the Anti-EU sentiment.

Not only that, the Commission allowed to transport to Kaliningrad as much goods as before, which means even the goods that had been meant for export out of Kaliningrad ports. The history repeats itself, so it seems.
