Russia warns Lithuania over blockade

Lithuania says it is only following the EU sanctions imposed over Moscow

Russia has warned Lithuania of "serious" consequences after it banned some goods to the Russian territory of Kaliningrad.
Kaliningrad - a strategic region where Russia's Baltic Fleet is headquartered - has no border with mainland Russia.
Russia's senior security official Nikolai Patrushev said Moscow will certainly respond to such hostile actions.

A British subsidiary of the mining company Glencore has pleaded guilty in a UK court to corruption offences, after being accused of paying millions of dollars in bribes to secure access to crude oil in Africa.
