If this border is correct then what is the historical justification of splitting that island and Russia having small strip around 100m x 20m on the Lithuanian side of Nemunas?
The delta is very wet, so these islands probably come and go with the changing delta and the border was set using straight lines between predefined points.
This border feature does not affect Lithuania using Nemunas as there is Atmata part of Nemunas that splits in the delta further up in the north.

I think the riverbed is constantly changing. The islands of the delta are constantly flooded or are swampy.

This is the same place, but from maps lt webside, looks like google has correct information, just not sure about this green line
Google is lazy. Border follows the water https://maps.lt/short/7a711680
