In other cases, the Kremlin acts punitively, as when it cut off oil supplies to Lithuania following the sale of the Mazeikiu Nafta refinery to a Polish company, or to Ukraine after its people voted for the “wrong” party.
在其他问题上，克里姆林宫则采取惩罚性的行动，比如在立陶宛将Mazeikiu Nafta炼油厂出售给一家波兰公司后，它切断了对立陶宛的石油供应；在乌克兰的人民将选票投给“错误”的政党时，也切断了对它的供应。
