The electricity grid operators of the three Baltic countries on Tuesday officially notified Russia and Belarus that they will exit a 2001 agreement that has kept Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania connected to an electricity transmission system controlled by Moscow.

    Kaliningrad is not called Königsberg anymore. There was a war over this.

    On the long run, I think it should be annexed by the EU.

    This is imperialism. IMO, the people of the Oblast Kaliningrad should be able to decide for themselves since the Russian Federation is de jure a federation. Once independent, Kaliningrad would be able to go through EU’s process of entry into the union.

    I don’t see this happening anytime soon, because Russia is de facto neither a federation nor a democracy and I assume the people of Kaliningrad do not have the political will to be independent or part of the EU at the moment.

      People casually calling for the ethnic cleansing of Russians from a Russian Oblast and annexation of the territory is fucked up.

      Russia’s crimes in Ukraine don’t make it okay for us to become completely deranged and want to forcibly remove thousands upon thousands of people from a region.

        Except…. No one in this messaging chain called for ethnic cleansing, just annexation. So…. maybe don’t make stuff up?
