  "description": "An LRT investigation revealed that Lithuania functions as a transit gateway for at least 130 million euros worth of dual-use goods shipped to Russia since the start of the Ukraine invasion. These shipments are routed through Central Asian countries like Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. Lithuanian companies involved claim unawareness that their dual-use goods and technologies would eventually reach Russia. The report highlights Lithuania's strategic role in sanction evasion, despite attempts by customs and authorities to monitor exports. The issue raises concerns about the effectiveness of sanctions and the risk of sensitive technologies being used in military applications.",
