Machine translation: Europe may sacrifice a piece of Lithuania to avoid World War III
Russia may decide to attack Lithuania to seize the Suvalki corridor (between Belarus and Kaliningrad), said Mikhail Samus, an expert of the Center for Army, Conversion and Disarmament Research.
Russia and Belarus repeatedly practiced the seizure of the Suvalki corridor during the exercise "West" (according to the legend of the exercise, the allied state fought against the fictitious Weishnoriya).
In the event of such an attack, NATO countries "may stand on the position that let's sacrifice part of Lithuania, let's give a corridor to Russia ... and prevent escalation into a third world war," Samus believes.
