The authoritarian leader of Belarus threatened on Monday to seize over 1,000 Lithuanian trucks stranded in his country following the closure of its border with Lithuania in recent weeks after repeated incursions by weather balloons carrying smuggled cigarettes.
According to Associated Press Lithuania, a NATO and European Union member, closed the two border crossings with Belarus on Oct. 29 after the meteorological balloons flying from Belarus caused repeated disruption of air traffic at the airport in Lithuania’s capital of Vilnius.
The border will remain closed until at least the end of November.
Lithuanian officials cast the flight disruptions as part of anti-Western activities by Russia-allied Belarus intended to undermine stability.
Lithuania borders Belarus as well as Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave.
Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko suggested that Vilnius itself needs to combat smuggling of contraband.
The Belarusian authorities have refused to open a corridor exclusively to evacuate the stranded Lithuanian trucks, demanding that Lithuania fully reopen the border.
“If they don’t do it in the next few days, we will make a decision, as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated, in accordance with our law, up to the confiscation of the vehicles,” said Lukashenko.
He said on Monday that up to 1,200 Lithuanian trucks were stranded in Belarus because of the closed border, and he warned that Belarusian authorities could seize them if Lithuania fails to reopen it.
Lukashenko said the trucks were moved to paid parking areas. “They can’t just loiter on the roads — 1,100 or 1,200 big trucks,” he said.
The tensions come as Europe is on high alert after drone intrusions into NATO’s airspace reached an unprecedented scale since September.
Some European officials described the incidents as Moscow testing NATO’s response.
Lukashenko noted that Belarusian authorities would raise the Lithuanian border closure in their contacts with Washington.
