Quotes

Every year, the State Security Department (VSD) and the Second Department of Operational Services (AOTD) present the National Threat Assessment, which outlines the major threats to the Lithuanian state and the region.

The document, presented to the public on Thursday, says Russia remains the main threat to Lithuania’s national security.

"Russian intelligence and security services continue to be active against Lithuania and other NATO allies, using a broad arsenal of traditional and hybrid methods," the Lithuanian intelligence officers wrote.

The agencies warn that Russia will keep seeking to interfere in the democratic processes of Lithuania and other Western countries through information operations, cyber attacks, and influence activities.

"Moscow will apply all available means, including spreading disinformation, to discredit Lithuania as a NATO and EU member state."
