Moscow vowed to respond to what it called confrontational actions by Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia with asymmetric measures.

Russia has blamed the “hostility” of Baltic states for them severing most of their ties with the country.

“Because of the openly hostile line of Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn, all interstate, interdepartmental, regional and sectoral ties with Russia have been severed,” said Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharov on Sunday.

She warned Moscow would respond with asymmetric measures, though did not specify exactly what the Baltics had supposedly done
