Russian Threat: Lithuania Tones Down, No Evidence of Imminent Attack

Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius stated on September 29 in Brussels that intelligence services have no evidence of an imminent large-scale Russian action, despite increasing accusations across Europe. Lithuania, sharing borders with Russia and Belarus, remains cautious, believing there is no need to alarm the public about an immediate threat. Meanwhile, Estonia has accused Russia of orchestrating an arson attack in Tallinn in August, which Moscow denies. Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal considers a conventional Russian attack on Europe unlikely while Russia remains engaged in Ukraine, but warns that hostile activities may persist.
