Lithuanian border guards at the checkpoint in Kybartai did not allow a train with Russian military symbols drawn on the rail cars to cross into the country.

This was reported by DELFI, Ukrinform reports.

The Lithuanian State Border Guard Service (SOGGL) stated that the border guards had ordered to unhook five wagons from the train and return them to Kaliningrad region.

One train had three cars, and the other one – two. Empty cars were supposed to follow through Lithuania in transit to Belarus.

The border guards did not allow this to be done, and also informed the Lithuanian Railways about the incident.

It is noted that five cars must be unhooked from the train and returned back to Kaliningrad region, and only then the trains will be able to proceed via the territory of Lithuania.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, Russian invaders are using the Yenisei armored train in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, which they built using property of Ukrzaliznytsya stolen in Kharkiv region.
