Lithuanian Deputy Foreign Minister Vygaudas Usackas summoned Russian Ambassador Yuri Zubakov on 17 August to voice concern over violations in military transit procedures to and from Kaliningrad.

Previously, a train carrying military cargo in the Vilnius region was sent back to Belarus after four armed Russian military escorts were discovered onboard without having first acquired permission--in violation of the transit agreement. Zubakov said such violations will not happen again. Usackas noted that the transit was otherwise "normal." Border guards at the Kena checkpoint have since been disciplined over the incident.
