Pr-Inside.com (Moscow)-A Russian security officer convicted 17 January of spying for Lithuania and sentenced to 7½ years in prison, a duty officer for the Federal Security Service said. Lt. Col. Vasily Khitryuk, of the Federal Prison Service, convicted in Kaliningrad, the Baltic exclave where arrested in 2006. The court found that Khitryuk recruited by the intelligence services of Lithuania, which borders Kaliningrad, and had passed along information about Russian military units. Russia and Lithuania strained since the Baltic country regained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Over the past seven years, there have been several incidents of tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions. Lithuania joined NATO and the European Union in 2004. (Relability: 8)
Analysis:
It is likely that Lithuania and Russia tensions will continue to rise due to the fact that Lithuania is demanding compensation for Soviet occupation and the continued mistrust between both countries since the Soviet Union fell in 1991.

Type in the first post is hard to read because it is a serif font. Switching to sans serif in the others was a good move.
More illustrations would have helped.
First sentence in first item is very awkward.
Some other awkward sentences there, too.
