I think you underestimate the readiness of some (many) European countries to continue cooperation with the Russians as before. There are no sanctions when it comes to Russian money. I personally spoke with a large European company that told me, to paraphrase, "if Gaddafi was alive, we would sell him too. But we prefer cash and quiet deals".

Yeah, money doesn't smells and many companies continue to do business with Russia despite war. And it seems that we are heading towards to that EU will make an exception and will allow transit of sanctioned goods through Lithuania to not escalate situation. It would be shameful EU loss against Russia. And after, I don't know why there is so much noise, Russia is trying to tell that these sanctions is blockade of Kaliningrad. But after all, it's just steel and ferrous metals sanctioned.

>>But after all, it's just steel and ferrous metals sanctioned.

Unfortunately, this is an erroneous opinion, because after all this creates a precedent and lets Russia understand that there is no solidarity in the European Union and no one is going to defend even their own members. Therefore, the pressure will only increase and pathetic Europeans (so-called Old Europe) will make concessions.
