Russia will respond to Lithuania if it starts confiscating cars with Russian license plates, the Russian Foreign Ministry has said.
On March 11, the deadline set by the Lithuanian authorities for the export or re-registration of cars registered in the Russian Federation expires, RIA Novosti reported.
According to the Foreign Ministry, the Russian Embassy in Vilnius has been informing Russians living in Lithuania about the danger of such a development since September.
Russian citizens were urged to take advantage of the remaining days to minimize property risks. The actions of Vilnius could be regarded as a gross act of robbery at the state level. This will not go unanswered.
