Lithuania–Russia relations (Russian: Российско-литовские отношения) are the bilateral foreign relations between Lithuania and Russia. Lithuania has an embassy in Moscow. Russia has an embassy in Vilnius, with consulates in Klaipėda. The two countries share a common border through Kaliningrad Oblast, an exclave of the Russian Federation.
The Lithuanians ambassador to the Russian Federation is Rimantas Šidlauskas; the Russian ambassador to the Republic of Lithuania is Vladimir Chkhikvadze.
Following Russia's military intervention in Ukraine, concerns about the geopolitical environment led Lithuania to begin preparing for a Russian invasion. In December 2014, Russia carried out a military drill in nearby Kaliningrad with 55 naval vessels and 9000 soldiers.[1] In 2015, Lithuanian Chief of Defence Jonas Vytautas Zukas announced plans to reinstate conscription, which ended in 2008, to bolster the ranks of the Lithuanian Armed Forces. The Ministry of National Defence also published a 98-page manual for citizens to prepare them for armed conflict and occupation.[2]
