Lithuanian Companies Protest Over Trucks Being Held in Belarus.

The article focuses on a protest by Lithuania's trucking association, which involved dozens of trucks outside the parliament building, demanding government assistance in recovering thousands of vehicles held in Belarus. The protest highlights the ongoing geopolitical tensions between Lithuania and Belarus, particularly under the regime of Alexander Lukashenko, which has blocked the return of Lithuanian trucks since November. The logistics companies are seeking compensation for their losses and have petitioned the Lithuanian government for help, while the government has labeled Lukashenko's regime as illegitimate and directed the companies to address their concerns to Belarus. The situation is exacerbated by recent incidents, including Belarusian weather balloons disrupting civil aviation in Lithuania, leading to heightened security measures in the region.
