Baltic countries ban entry for Russian registered vehicles in c/[email protected]

On the third hand there are still legitimate reasons to travel from Russia by car:

  1. Visiting kids who study in the EU (Finland is more typical destination than Baltic states)
  2. Leaving Russia with pets
  3. Economic ties for Kaliningrad region

This ban won't do anything reasonable regarding the supply chain of Russian war machine. Petty little thing a-la «Putin will have to recreate his battle.net account to play Diablo 4. It'll stop the war for sure!»
