Lithuania arranged a spy scandal

Lithuania arranged a spy scandalLithuanian special services convicted second secretary of the Russian Embassy in Vilnius Valery Katul for spying. According to the country's Department of State Security (DSS), the diplomat was engaged in collecting secret information about the Lithuanian presidency of the European Union in 2013.

According to the State Security Department report, Katula tried to recruit a local civil servant in order to get information about the activities and priorities of the Lithuanian presidency, agreements on associative membership with the Eastern Partnership countries, the results of visits of foreign delegations in the country. For the information collected, a monetary reward was offered, reports Delfi portal.

In addition, according to Vesti, the report of the special services says that Russian representatives tapped telephone conversations of Lithuanian diplomats and then published them on YouTube. Russians were also accused of distributing spyware through infected email attachments, USB flash drives and CDs.

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius, in turn, said that preventive measures had been taken against Katula, and there was no need to expel him from the country. “We know this information, and everyone will know who he is. The fact that he is made public is, in my opinion, also a sufficient measure at the moment. For now, that's all, and then we'll see,” the Foreign Minister explained.

In 2004, Lithuania sent three Russian diplomats for espionage. As the head of the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry explained at the time, the Russians "spied on the process of impeachment of President Rolandas Paksas" and also showed "heightened interest" in the privatization of state facilities.

    Yes, it’s not a matter of espionage, actually! Everyone has the same interest in the impeachment process! The second question is privatization: after all, under pressure from the EU, foreigners from the EU and other countries loyal to them, as well as purchases of LAND, can now join this process in the Baltic states !!!!!!! That's where the dog is buried !!!!! The Baltic Sejm consists entirely of deputies pleasing to the European Parliament and is Lab any laws and statutes proposed by it from the EU !! In the near future, from these wretched and impoverished appendages of the European Union there will be only one name !! The EU has successfully collapsed their economies and will now redeem the remnants of real estate whose owners in most cases are the deputies themselves or their relatives and proteges and the people of these countries will remain a poor rabble on the porch of the European Union without land and country !! They will be proud of their independence, that they are strangers on their land like homeless people, but in the EU, it is clear that this is a dream of independence in their concept !!!

    If GDP gave the command to withdraw assets from the West to Russian banks and companies, then why there is still no such indication in relation to Latvia and other Baltic states that live off the transit of Russian goods and the supply of sea products. Personally, I have been looking at labels for many years so that I wouldn’t accidentally buy these Nazi sprats.

    This is simply a secret, why they are so slow-moving.

    Well yes. The Baltic states often behave in relation to Russia as my Spitz in relation to strangers. Barks loudly, viciously, but from under the table.


    You can’t change them, these Chukhonians, it’s in their blood to bark angrily at Russia and blame them for all the troubles. A pug, you know she is strong, since she barks at an elephant.

    Don't touch these defective ones. The EU prohibits them from catching THEIR fish with THEIR nets in THEIR sea. And they obey, well...
