Certainly, I gave up long ago on the daily avalanche of links, other perhaps than a few which have sounded interesting (but which usually turned out not to be). I'm sure it makes you feel better though so don't let me interrupt the flow.
Lithuania's a member of NATO. After their experience in Ukraine I very much doubt whether even the clearly not right in the megalomaniac head Vladimir Putin is thinking in terms of trying his luck there. I appreciate that conflicts with your entertaining fantasy of what's happened in Ukraine. Apparently it goes along the lines of, after 118 days the campaign (thought initially to be a week or so's work) is going entirely as planned.
Lithuania's also a member of the EU and is implementing their sanctions. According to your usual La La (sorry Lordo) view that shouldn't be a problem. It follows that their economy, like Russia's, will be booming as a consequence.
I don't think you quite understand this sanctions lark very well. Sanctions is for not buying Russian energy or capturing something of value from Putin's backers. Shutting down a rail link which has been agreed in an International agreement cannot be take place unilaterally. Lithuania has to go to court and ask to take that action and only if the court declares it legal then it should be shut.
In the meantime this looks more like an attack on Russian territory. Now what does Nato say about a member actually attacking another country. Do they still have to come to her aid?
