Lithuania's top advisor, Deividas Matulionis, dismissed fresh Russian threats against Kaliningrad as baseless psychological tactics aimed at NATO countries, UATV English reported. "We are cognizant of Russia's latest threats, which are entirely unfounded and should be perceived as a form of psychological intimidation," Matulionis stated.
He vehemently condemned Russia's threats of military force and the aggressive language employed by Moscow. He emphasized that any attempts by the Kremlin to coerce Lithuania into curtailing or ceasing military aid to Ukraine would prove futile. "Lithuania will persist in providing comprehensive and unwavering support to Ukraine," Matulionis declared.
His remarks came in response to a statement from the Russian Embassy in Belgium, which alleged that Moscow would deploy its entire arsenal of weaponry if NATO nations endeavored to isolate Russia's Kaliningrad region from the remainder of the country. The Russian embassy claimed that NATO was fabricating threats to Russia's Baltic Fleet and openly devising strategies to encircle the Russian enclave.
Moscow has consistently accused NATO of planning to blockade or seize Kaliningrad throughout the year. NATO member states have categorically denied these accusations. Lithuania has maintained its readiness to confront potential security threats from Russia. Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius had previously disclosed that the nation had devised evacuation plans while stressing Lithuania's commitment to defending itself in the event of an assault.
