The Russian list, which has been published by the media but has not been released officially, features 89 EU politicians, including Lithuania’s former head-of-state Vytautas Landsbergis, ex-PM Andrius Kubilius, parliamentary National Security and Defence Committee chairman Artūras Paulauskas and former head of the State Security Department, Gediminas Grina.
The list also includes MEP Petras Auštrevičius, Lithuanian Radio and Television Commission chairman Edmundas Vaitekūnas and presidential adviser on foreign policy Jovita Neliupšienė.
