“I also plan to learn the Lithuanian language to better integrate with the society, where I will probably have to live at least a few years until the situation in Russia changes,” said the Russian journalist.

“I am happy and grateful for the opportunity to live and work here and be fully useful in my country, Russia, and Lithuania,” he added.
