After Russia threatened Lithuania on Tuesday, June 21, the United States has declared that it will stand firmly behind Lithuania with its NATO commitments to defend it.<\/p>\n

Lithuania, is one of the most outspoken nations that have been opposing Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Lithuania\u00a0 who is a former Soviet republic and is both in NATO and the European Union, said on Tuesday June 21, that it would restrict the rail transit of goods sanctioned by the EU into Kaliningrad.<\/p>\n

The goods Lithuania said it would not allow pass through it’s territory to Kaliningrad include metals, construction equipments, minerals and weapon producing equipment.<\/p>\n

Kaliningrad is an isolated Russian enclave on the Baltic Sea annexed from Germany after World War II . Kaliningrad sandwiched between Lithuania and Poland.<\/p>\n

Russia in response warned Lithuania against the move, sayung that it would \u201ccertainly respond\u201d to the \u201chostile actions.\u201d and would do anything to protect Russian interests.<\/p>\n

The US has now responded saying it stands by all it’s NATO allies including Lithuania.<\/p>\n

With Lithuania being a NATO member, any direct military action by Russia would trigger Article 5 of the treaty and the entirety of the alliance would at war with Russia. During the State of the Union Address, U.S. President Joe Biden vowed to defend \u201cevery inch\u201d of NATO territory. In March, the U.S. bolstered its presence in Lithuania, bringing the number of soldiers stationed in the country to around 1,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe stand by our NATO<\/a> allies and we stand by Lithuania,\u201d State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpecifically our commitment to NATO\u2019s Article Five \u2014 the premise that an attack on one would constitute an attack on all \u2014 that commitment on the part of the United States is ironclad,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Price said that the United States welcomed the \u201cunprecedented economic measures\u201d taken by Lithuania and other nations against Russia over its invasion.<\/p>\n

Asked about Russia\u2019s statements, Price said, \u201cWe aren\u2019t going to speculate on Russian saber-rattling or Russian bluster and don\u2019t even want to give it additional airtime.\u201d???<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
