Lithuania, Great Britain, Denmark and Estonia have turned to the European Commission with a call to work out an action plan for fighting the Russian propaganda campaign, shows a copy of the letter obtained by BNS. […]
Again, this article will not be related to the structure, clans, their interrelations, and KGB basis in Putin’s current regime. This essay is a sequel of the previous piece which aimed to take another glimpse at Putin’s suspicious links with international terrorism. […]
US Republican Senator John McCain, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, says he will do all he can not only to ensure Washington’s support for Ukraine, but also to avert danger to the Baltic states. […]
Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has lashed out at former oil tycoon and vocal critic of the current Russian government Mikhail Khodorkovsky for addressing the media community with a call to publish more cartoons following the terrorist attack in France. […]
In the 1950s, Nobel Prize winning mathematician John Forbes Nash invented a Machiavellian game entitled So Long Suckers. To win, a player had to game, and ultimately betray, his adversaries. Today, as they sit in frozen trenches in what was once aptly named the Wild Fields, it looks as if the soldiers of the ‘Union of People’s Republic’ are the ones that have been played. […]
The Radio and Television Commission of Lithuania (RTCL) decided on Wednesday to demand that two Russian TV channels acknowledge that several of their programs spread biased information. Otherwise, the Lithuanian TV and radio watchdog will initiate a complete ban on broadcasting of the two Russian channels in Lithuania. […]
Lithuania’s President Dalia Grybauskaitė stated on Wednesday that a dialogue with Russia is impossible until Moscow “is engaged in aggression” and supports “terrorists in eastern Ukraine“. […]
I am not a fan of the social-democratic tradition of foreign policy, especially when it comes to perpetually unsuccessful attempts of the Lithuanian left to “turn a new page in relations with Russia” and base their policies towards Poland on promises about name spelling. I dare say, however, that Dovilė Jakniūnaitė’s criticism of Lithuania’s foreign policy in 2014 is unfounded. […]
What could we say about Lithuanian foreign policy last year? Most would likely agree that it was visible, audible and active. These words define the form very well, but what could we say about the content? […]

[…]
Repeated violations of the law may lead to suspension of rebroadcasting of RTR Planeta and NTV Mir Lithuania channels for up to one year, says Edmundas Vaitekūnas, the head of the Lithuanian Radio and Television Commission. […]
Do Lithuania’s ethnic Russian citizens make integration into the society a priority or do they do quite the opposite, using the privileges of Lithuanian citizenship and leaning nevertheless toward Mother Russia? Is being Russian not just a question of blood and faith but also of identifying with Russian civilization and a fragmented nation that must be united? […]
The two-thousand-strong protest rally in Moscow this week, triggered by a court sentence for anti-Kremlin campaigner Alexei Navalny and his brother, shows that, despite all the effort, Vladimir Putin‘s regime has not completely crushed the opposition in Russia. A Maidan in Moscow is probably Putin’s worst nightmare. Can it come true? […]
A lot of Russian spies are operating in Lithuania, so it’s likely that the recently-detained Lithuanian Air Force officer worked for Moscow, says Marius Laurinavičius, an analyst at the Eastern Europe Studies Centre. […]
The Lithuanian soldier detained on the suspicion of spying served in the Air Force Aviation Base in Šiauliai, which accommodates the NATO air policing mission, the base’s commander Lieutenant Colonel Vidmantas Raklevičius confirmed on Wednesday. […]
