Pole crossed the dunes to Russia. In Lithuania, surprise: He ignored the signs

A Polish man was detained by Russian authorities after crossing the Curonian Spit into Russia, ignoring warning signs. Lithuanian border guards observed him walking towards the Russian exclave and noted he carried no significant items. This incident marks the first of its kind in eight years, with the last similar case occurring in 2018. Lithuanian officials are investigating the situation and emphasize that access to border protection zones requires a permit, with clear signage indicating the border. Such crossings are rare along the Baltic coast.
