Ukraine war exhibit set up to shock Russian travellers

An exhibition of shocking images from the war in Ukraine opened at a train station in Lithuania with the aim of giving Russian transit travellers a true picture of the conflict.

The Baltic state allows 100 trains a month carrying Russian passengers to transit to and from the exclave of Kaliningrad under a special arrangement between Lithuania, the European Union and Russia.

The transit arrangement has continued despite numerous sanctions on air travel against Russia since President Vladimir Putin gave the order for Russian forces to invade Ukraine on 24 February.

At the train station in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius, EU passengers are allowed to get off the train but the Russian passengers must stay on it.
