The US is egging on Lithuania to blockade the Russians, meanwhile the Germans are pissed off with Lithuania and can see the wider ramifications of such a reckless move...all it shows is the lack of unity not just within the EU but the coordination of strategy between the US and EU.

The Russians will just bide their time over the next few months, they will go about their business of systematically dismantling the Ukrainian military whilst limiting Russian losses, this will be a slow grind until the end of summer...once the cold weather begins to set in, all the negotiating power will be in Russian hands and even the establishment of a land bridge to Kaliningrad won't entirely be out of the question.
