Russian and Ukrainian mass media and social networks spread a fake that a section of the railway connecting Russia and Belarus with Kaliningrad had been dismantled in Lithuania. At the same time, it is noted that "very motivated in this matter" refugees from Ukraine allegedly helped dismantle the railway. This fake is part of the information campaign against Lithuania, which Russia launched after blocking the transit to Kaliningrad.

StopFake writes that, in fact, the original source of this news was the site of satirical, fictional "news" "Panorama." The publication warns its audience that all texts on the site are not real news. Transit to Kaliningrad has been restricted for some freight since June 17 due to sanctions imposed by Brussels. The customs department of Lithuania reported that the ban on the transit of cement, alcohol, and other products would come into effect on July 10, on coal and other solid fossil fuels - on August 10, and Russian oil - on December 5. But there is no information about disassembling railway tracks. In particular, Lithuanian Railways denied halting transit between Russia and Kaliningrad after Russian officials expressed anger over the alleged decision, which ostensibly interrupted the flow of goods to the region.
