Lithuania announced Wednesday it will terminate its border traffic agreement with Belarus, tightening restrictions on movement across the shared frontier.
The move reflects ongoing tensions between the NATO and EU member state and its authoritarian neighbor, particularly over migration flows and security concerns. Lithuania has previously accused Belarus of weaponizing irregular migration as political pressure against the West.
The decision marks an escalation in border controls along a critical EU-Russia interface point.
