Lithuania neighbors the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad and Moscow’s ally Belarus. He declared a state of emergency immediately after the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24.
It initially applied across the country, before being limited to border areas and entry gates into the country when it was last renewed in September.
