Lithuania installed "dragon's teeth" and mines in front of the bridge on the border with the Kaliningrad region

"This is a precautionary step to ensure more effective defense," the Lithuanian Defense Ministry said on Twitter. The ministry explained that the Queen Louise Bridge is Russian property, so Lithuania cannot install "dragon's teeth" and mines on the bridge itself, but only in front of it.

They haven’t forgotten who their neighbors are.

None of the Bucharest 9 have. Hungary may make loud noises, but even they were cooperating with this group to increase defence against Russia.

Yeah to spy on the others for Russia. Hungary is blocking every single sanction package on Russia. They do not send aid to Ukraine at all and even block aid shipments through Hungary. They also blocked Swedens NATO membership for ages.

That is not making loud noises, that is being a Russian puppet.

All of these are very fair points. My point was that they're happy to publicly call for "peace and an end to the war" while throwing Ukraine under a bus, but simultaneously they're for NATO protecting them against Russia.

They also blocked Swedens NATO membership for ages.

If I'm not mistaken, this wasn't a pro-Russian thing, this was a blackmail NATO allies for concessions in exchange for agreeing thing.
