Lithuania deports three Ukrainians accused of working for foreign intelligence

Lithuania has recently expelled three Ukrainian nationals who were accused of working as paid agents for foreign intelligence agencies, according to LRT on November 4th. The State Security Department (VSD) of Lithuania revealed that these individuals had performed various tasks in exchange for monetary compensation with different foreign intelligence entities.

The nature of these assignments was communicated through popular messaging applications like Telegram. The VSD further disclosed that the three had previously been flagged as potential threats to national security, leading to the revocation of their temporary residence permits in Lithuania. The VSD declared that such individuals who present a threat to the nation's security have been expelled from Lithuania and are barred from returning for a period of five years.

On October 15th, it was reported that a Ukrainian woman, aged 36, was detained in Krakow, Poland, for traveling on public transport without a ticket. Further investigation revealed that she was listed in the Schengen Information System as a person barred from entry and permitted residence. Border guards initiated legal proceedings to order her forced repatriation to her home country.
