You’d think a Baltic state would know better than to trust Russia.
The article and summary very specifically details the role of RE-export. Sanctioned ( Western machine &hightech) parts get to Russia by export via Taiwan, China. It’s not like a country like Lithuania is doing this on purpose.
Though there always are some people selling and buying to profit via alternate and creative means. Similar Report by Economic Security Council of Ukraine

We shouldnt be protecting Lithuania or Taiwan then. Let them deal with their own defense.
Lithuania was exporting it to Taiwan, which was then exporting it to Russia. Knowing the history of how Lithuania supported Taiwan’s defense against China, it seems that they were helping Taiwan, but Taiwan was sending this aid to Russia to make money.
If Lithuania stops supporting Taiwan, China gets an advantage, but Russia loses. If Lithuania continues to support Taiwan, it can keep its advantage over China, but Russia gets help against Ukraine. A riddle.
Strange that Lithuania would do that, given their history with being victims of Russian imperialism.
Sure, no reason to protect Taiwan. No reason to protect Taiwan at all.
This seems reasonable to me … Unless the exported tech has non-military uses, but even then sanctions are part of the ways in which countries can apply pressure on Russia. https://neighbourhood-enlargement.ec.europa.eu/news/eu-adopts-15th-sanctions-package-against-russia-its-continued-illegal-war-against-ukraine-2024-12-16_en
