Lithuania is already tugging at the Russian bear's mustache, and the warning response has not been missed.
Lithuania's ambassador to Sweden published a rather strange message on his social media page, in which he referred to the destruction of the bridge in Kerch.
If someone hasn't had a chance to take a photo of the Kerch bridge yet, it's still time, Linas Linkevicius wrote on his X page accompanied by a collage.

The Russian response did not take long either. The targeting of former Lithuanian foreign minister Linas Linkevicius for another strike against the Crimean bridge is "professional schizophrenia", stated Grigory Karasin, the chairman of the international affairs committee of the Russian Federation Council.
"Actually, this Lithuanian - if I may say so - diplomat continues what caused a scandal in the international community, when German officers discussed the possibility of destroying the Crimean bridge. Only he did it in a more naive and childish way, but he has absolutely the same delusions in his head," noted Karasin.
At the same time, meanwhile, the Polish foreign minister demands that the German chancellor change his mind and finally give the Ukrainians the Taurus missile, which caused this scandal to break out earlier.
I hope that the chancellor feels encouraged by the events of the past few days, said Sikorski in an interview with the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag and other Axel Springer media.
