Vilnius denies allegations of NATO countries and Polish media about border conflict with Belarus

22

Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvydas Anushauskas believes that the Polish media is incorrectly informing the population about the West-2021 military exercises planned in Russia and Belarus from September 10 to 16.

I do not know the source of such information, so I do not think that it should be taken literally. From my point of view, such messages demonstrate a tendency towards disinformation appearing in our information space.

- said Anushauskas.



According to the Polish publication Dziennik Gazeta Prawna, Belarusian troops "can invade the territory of Lithuania and go several kilometers deep into it" during joint exercises with Russia.

Dziennik Gazeta Prawna also writes that NATO is preparing for a possible invasion, which is regarded as "a gross violation of Lithuania's sovereignty." The Polish media claims that in this way the Kremlin checks the red lines of the North Atlantic Alliance.

However, Dziennik Gazeta Prawna does not name its source of information, which speaks of aggression from the Russian Federation and Belarus.

The Lithuanian Defense Minister claims that NATO and Lithuania are capable of detecting such provocations and prefers to refrain from participating in the games of the other side.

There are definitely attempts to intimidate the population. But I would prefer not to receive such a thing.

- said the Lithuanian politician.

The minister recalled the West-2021 exercises. He advised to be ready for more disinformation materials and confirmed Lithuania's readiness to resist "any kind of threats."

NATO spokesman Oana Lungescu, in turn, explained that NATO will closely monitor the conduct of the West 2021 exercises, but at the same time the leadership of the military bloc decided not to comment on information from anonymous sources.

In addition, the NATO representative calls on Russia and Belarus to act in accordance with international agreements in order to reduce risks and avoid incidents. In turn, Moscow and Minsk call on NATO to pay attention to their actions and how they comply with international norms - starting with the bombing of Yugoslavia ...

    Apparently the natives bought up all the salt, matches and toilet paper, and hid in the forest bunkers. The minister was apparently ordered to stop the panic and return the population from the forests))))

        "I do not know the source of such information, so I do not think that it should be taken literally. From my point of view, such messages demonstrate a tendency towards disinformation appearing in our information space.
        Definitely, attempts are being made to intimidate the population. But I would prefer that this did not come to my address ".- said Anushauskas.

        It's good when the Minister of Defense of Lithuania has everything in order with his head.
        However, when the Minister of Defense of Lithuania claims that NATO and Lithuania are capable of detecting such provocations and prefers to refrain from participating in the games of the other side, then his diplomacy will clearly not work in the leadership of NATO and, accordingly, in the leadership of Lithuania. Surely, Anushauskas himself understands this - and he cannot be denied courage as an officer - not a careerist.

        It is a pity that Arvydas Anushauskas will most likely be removed from the post of Minister of Defense of Lithuania in one way or another, in principle, for his "disloyalty" to the American national interests of both NATO and Washington itself, and the Lithuanian government. For the "first steps" towards understanding and voicing sound reality in the form of criticism of war propaganda are usually not forgiven by the authorities of the aggressor countries.

        Let's see how long Arvydas Anushauskas will remain in his post as Minister of Defense of Lithuania and in what ranks he will then be!

      This side of Lithuania is inhabited primarily by ethnic Belarusians and Russians ... A rather problematic and "unreliable" region for the official authorities.
      For this they did not hide, but the Lithuanian flags were removed, probably ... wink

    Simultaneously with Zapad-2021, large-scale exercises will take place in Latvia - Namejs 2021 with the participation of up to 10 thousand military personnel.
    And - what a surprise! - on the border with Belarus.
    Latvian Defense Minister Artis Pabriks urges compatriots not to worry, although he admits that the situation on the border with Belarus is difficult.

    Well, it will never come to the Balts that Russia * (at all) does not need them. * (worn out) with them even in the USSR. Enough. Now it's Europe's turn to feed them.

    On October 30, 1938, a radio play (east coast of the USA) based on G. Wells's novel "The War of the Worlds" of the Worlds began. At the beginning there was a standard radio broadcast: a weather forecast, a concert. all the more they didn’t know about it. ”But gradually the concert began to be interrupted by messages: first about an unusual outbreak on Mars, then about a meteorite that fell on an American farm, about aliens who got out of it, about the massacres of people and the mobilization of the army. And then - the sound of an explosion in reportage from the "place of events" and a theatrical pause.
    And then ... the phone lines that evening were five times as busy as usual. Frightened people called the police, clinics, wherever they could be protected from the threat. People grabbed things, got into cars and got up in huge traffic jams, trying to leave and hide anywhere. Passions subsided only in the morning ...

    zadorin1974.....Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvydas Anushauskas believes that the Polish media incorrectly inform the population about the military exercises "West-2021", planned in Russia and Belarus

    O ! What's going on in young nato. Lithuania snaps at the hyena of Europe! And not through the lips of politicians, but through the lips of the Minister of Defense of Lithuania. Any path begins with the first step. Toli hyenas will gnaw the minister, toli Lithuanians will show them their teeth. It looks like the Afghan failure of the United States can remove American rose-colored glasses from Europe.

      How remarkably beautiful, clever and accurate you said: "young-NATO" "Lithuania snarls at the hyena of Europe", "the hyenas will bite the minister"! good I am just delighted with such a comment! hi
      I support you in everything you said!

      Only Arvydas Anushauskas will most likely be removed from the post of Minister of Defense of Lithuania allegedly for his "disloyalty" to NATO and Washington. For the "first steps" towards a sound reality in the form of criticism are usually not forgiven by the authorities to anyone.

    NATO calls on
    Russia and Belarus to act in accordance with international agreements ...

    NATO killers are well-known experts in "international agreements" - in Yugoslavia alone, more than 2000 civilians have become victims of their air raids.

    The Lithuanian politician is surprisingly sober. Russia is not interested in the territory of the Baltic States, and even more so in its population. Feeding these Aboriginal people is expensive. It is enough to cover these lands with the reach of air defense, so that no one from there even thought to take off. All the rest will be blocked by the Tornadoes with the Iskander. It makes no sense to twitch the Baltic, so it will be calmer for them. Much has been said about Poland in Europe itself, the attitude towards it is clear, whether it is ours or European. NATO, of course, will follow, but what else can they do? Well, you can have a gay pride parade. AUTUMN is coming in country 404.
