'Blockade'?

The word is used by Russian and Belarus media and politicians. Ukrainian Wikipedia, but Wikipedia is not a source.Xx236 (talk) 11:56, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to Restriction of transit with the Kaliningrad Oblast. This was an early WP:SNOW page move, and since it was to a title that was not proposed, any editor who disagrees can open a new move request at any time. Thanks and kudos to editors for your input; good health to all! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^put'r there 22:02, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Blockade of Kaliningrad → Restriction of transit connection with the Kaliningrad Oblast – The 'Blockade' name is not sourced/explained. Kaliningrad has sea and air access. The page does not belong to Category Blockades. Compare Blockade "A blockade differs from an embargo or sanction", "military force". Lithuania does not use military force in this case.

Weak support because it’s an improvement. But why “transit connection,” which sounds like trains are not allowed to pass? Does any source call it that? The English-language source cited calls it a ban or prohibition on movement of goods. —Michael Z. 00:04, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have taken the title from the body of the article, where is it was as the main name. But 'transit' is being used https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-transit-to-kaliningrad-allowed-but-not-for-sanctioned-goods/ Xx236 (talk) 05:51, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Berlin Blockade did not involve loss of an air connection. Srnec (talk) 00:50, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Different connotations. 180.254.164.141 (talk) 08:53, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support: It is neither de jure nor de facto blockade (at least yet), but a selective restriction of transit. I would drop the "connection" (i.e. just "transit"), though. --Mindaur (talk) 19:04, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The shorter the better. Xx236 (talk) 05:53, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since the consensus seems to be clear so far I took the liberty to move the article to Restriction of transit with the Kaliningrad Oblast Alex Bakharev (talk) 06:20, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

a series of bans

The EU Comission limited the bans, so perhaps 'a series of bans and relaxations'? https://www.rferl.org/a/eu-russia-lithuania-transit/31942046.html EU Says Sanctioned Russian Goods Can Transit Lithuania By Rail To Kaliningrad Xx236 (talk) 06:22, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Russian threats should be added, not only German represents Russia. Russian Wikipedia describes the problem, here are two sources copied. ^[1]^[2]

History of the transit

I have added one line, but probably more is needed. We should expand this article to Transit with the Kaliningrad Oblast through Lithuania. The problem has 30 years history. Xx236 (talk) 06:55, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
